From weeks on end of blistering hot days to calamitous cyclones, we've pretty much had it all this summer. The extreme temperatures in some parts are in stark contrast to other storm-battered coastal zones Tell us how summer's been in your area.
It was a fair bit of weather and some of us are still feeling the effects. Did you do anything to prepare?
How was Gita for you?

The two pix shown are taken from the Ventusky weather modelling App (iOS and Android). Both show precipitation rates (over a 3-hour period). Green/Blue is light, through yellow/orange is moderate, through red is heavy—the darker the colour the heavier the precipitation.
The other shows the forecast for 07:00 tomorrow morning.
The track of the storm has/is drifting south and it will cross NZ somewhere around Greymouth or a little north.
I’d say it has just about blown itself out.
MetService was quite correct to issue the warnings. Cyclones, and ex-cyclones are notoriously fickle. It is not unkown for the them to double back on themselves and for the intensity to shift, up and down, during the duration of the storm. However, I don’t think we have anything to be too concerned about in Upper Hutt.
It's a wet, gloomy day in Wellington, and it's forecast to get worse.
Flights in and out of Wellington have been cancelled due to ex-Cyclone Gita.
High winds are predicted to strike around 7pm Tuesday, with winds up to 130kmh. Fortunately the rain is forecast to ease from midday.

Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?
