Weather Workshop: All Districts forecast for NZ

All Districts forecast from Weather Workshop:

The Situation: A low near the Chatham Is. is moving slowly southeast
as a ridge of high pressure spreads onto mainland New Zealand from
the Tasman Sea.

And now the forecast to midnight tonight:

NORTHLAND, AUCKLAND, COROMANDEL PENINSULA, WAIKATO, WAITOMO,
TAUMARANUI and TARANAKI: A mix of cloudy and fine periods with a few
showers at times. South to southwest winds.

BAY of PLENTY/ROTORUA and TAUPO: Cloudy at first with the odd light
shower but during the day long fine spells developing. Southerly
breezes.

TAIHAPE, WANGANUI and MANAWATU: Light showers continuing about the
eastern ranges, elsewhere long sunny periods. Southeast winds.

GISBORNE, HAWKES BAY, WAIRARAPA: Showers becoming less frequent north
of Mahia as the day goes on and a few drizzly showers at times
further south. Southerlies, strong and gusty in exposed coastal
areas, otherwise breezy.

WELLINGTON: A mostly cloudy day with a few light showers at times in
the east. Breezy cool southerlies again.

NELSON, BULLER, WESTLAND and FIORDLAND: Mostly fine conditions ahead
but at first this morning cloudy periods about Nelson and Buller.
Light winds.

MARLBOROUGH and CANTERBURY: Long fine spells inland but in coastal
areas a good deal of cloudiness with brief showers at times.
Southwest winds.

OTAGO and SOUTHLAND: Clearing in most places but
about the south coast and Stewart Is. skies remaining fairly
cloudy. Westerlies strengthening about Foveaux Strait, elsewhere
winds mostly light.

CHATHAM ISLANDS: A cold showery day from the south. Winds becoming
strong this morning.

THE OUTLOOK FOR TOMORROW: Fine over much of the North Island,
showers finally clearing out of Gisborne but in some northern and
eastern places cloud persisting. The South Island sees mainly fine
weather but as the day progresses rain is likely to work up the
west coast and later spread into parts of Southland and Otago.

Werewolf: Katniss Joins The News Team

From the outset, the Hunger Games series has dwelt obsessively on the ways that media images infiltrate our public and personal lives... From that grim starting point, Mockingjay Part One takes the process a few stages further. There is very little of the film that does not involve the characters (a) being on screens (b) making propaganda footage to be screened and (c) reacting to what other characters have been doing on screens.
