TV and radio weather forecasts will offer health advice on how to

Flippin heck there isn't enough time for the (reduced) weather content
in the forecasts without wasting it on health advice. Sun and Pollen
indexes(*) I can cope with but the wetaher forecast is not the place
for explicit health advice.

Didn't there used to be something on the telly a while back for this
sort of thing? Oh yes, I remember a "Public Information Films". Maybe
they could bung a few of those in instead of programme trails, I lost
count of how many there where after the News & Weather on BBC1
tonight...

(*) Seems strange that The Great Unwashed a deemed able to understand
the Sun and Pollen indexes but not wind speeds. Or have those indexes
bitten the dust as well?
