Default Red Triangles and appalling forecast, revisited.

By the way your "pack it up", was that a level-2 or a level-3 warning?


I'll go for a level 4, due to the prolonged emergency of you continually
making funny comments about this kind of thing

But seriously don't you think these warnings are over hyped? If you do
then the question has to be why?


Agreed. If we are going to have such warnings then let's at least make
their threshold at a level at which is exceptional, such as the 35C that we
had a couple of weeks ago. Not being triggered a couple of times of
year by a 'normal' heatwave. That simply dilutes their effect.
