Overhyped Weather Warning?

So far as this part of the UK is concerned the current weather warning
has proved, again, to be unnecessarily alarmist.
Here, we experienced lower wind speeds and less rainfall than during the
event on the 30th November during which a maximum gust of 44mph occurred
and we experienced 62.2mm of rain.
The figures for this event, so far, are 39mph and 17mm.
This afternoon, of course, I may be eating my words but at the moment
there's a light breeze, the cloud is clearing and it looks as though it
could be an 'average' day.
Last night we went to bed with some trepidation. We're now ignoring the
warnings and taking it as it comes.
I think the problem was the warnings were for the entire country.
Now severe gales everywhere in the UK is never going to be
very likely. Windy overnight here but nothing unusual.
This afternoon/evening looks like being when the fun starts.
