Of course I read

"Scattered heavy thunderstorms will bring torrential downpours to some
places during this
afternoon and the first part of this evening. 15 to 20mm of rain is
possible, much of which could fall in a short space of time."

They just love turning the whole country red whether it be rain, fog, heat
or snow. No doubt soon there will be a red warning for boring weather. I
can see it now.

They do seem to reach for the red crayon and start colouring in the
entire country like mad much more than they used to.
However they must surely know that in even the most severe event
only a relatively small proportion of the country is seriously affected.
For example there is a severe weather warning out at the moment
for NW England for heavy rain. And what happened?
We've had a few hours of light/moderate rain. Nothing remotely
approaching 'severe weather' in any way shape or form.
And the rain is clearing away now.

Met Office crying wolf as usual.
