Thanks Jon.

But if that is the case, there is no need to have the red map
for Sunday - it could just have been left green until Monday.
There's such a thing as 'crying wolf' and if the Met Office
overdoes the incidence of warnings of sever weather which
doesn't then happen, people won't believe them, and won't take
notice when they ought to.

I had to smile that Dorset was for a day or so splodged with red, but
it has disappeared (Sunday morning). I suspect that the 'Spanish
Plume' was difficult to quantify, as it were, so a broad brush
approach was taken.We only had modest amounts of rain last night.
Not a bad day today, despite the charts of a few days ago, so off for
gardening.
