It hasn't proved to be a great flash weather warning by the Met Office
for Devon this time. The activity has been further West. I know the
flash warning was for "the SW", but that stretches about 150 miles
from the East Devon border to Land's End!

Well, I find it bizarre and slightly annoying (now) that the severe
warning is still valid for Dorset - apparently these reflect
'confidence' that something 'might' happen.
