I see that Flash warnings have been issued for most of Scotland valid
from 1800 this evening to 0300 tomorrow morning warning of severe gales
with gusts to 75 m.p.h. above 800 metres.

According to the Met Office website:

"These warnings are issued to help the public make informed decisions
that protect their life, welfare and property in the event of severe
weather in the next few hours".

I wonder how many people there are above 800 metres tonight in Scotland?
Perhaps the sheep better take note :-)
