Im curious as to how the met office weather warning system works. Why
is there such a disparity between the alerts shown on
http://uk.weather.com/weather/alerts/
where there are weather warnings for a large number of areas and
http://www.met-office.gov.uk/weather/europe/uk/uk.html
where there is only one issued. Surely if warnings are needed it would
be nice if people could easily access them.

Sarah,
have you seen
http://www.met-office.gov.uk/publics.../warnings.html ?
Not that it tells you which are made available where.

According to that page the warnings are issued by the Met Office,
Bracknell. That gives me a vision of a long-forgotten basement door
labelled "Warnings Section" somewhere in the bowels of the old Bracknell
headquarters building
