Fair point re no red warning.
I live in east cumbria in the lee of the Mts and my weather warnings
yesterday were telling me that such locations should expect to have
the strongest of the winds.
But I still trees in full leaf (and won't have to be out there
sweeping up today), with thankfully no damage caused.
I do think it is an over sensitivity and a case of better to put a
warning out than not, just in case.

=============================

It's a point of view but not one with which I agree. You think that
the alert status should have been Green for Cumbria with gusts over
60mph? As I understand it, warnings aren't and cannot be broken down
into small areas depending on how sheltered they happen to be within
the broader region.

=============================


Our particular favourite up here is a warning for 2-5cms of snow or
ice on pavements - why does such an 'event' need a warning?

=============================

I agree that it does not and should be covered just by the forecast.
But I imagine that there would be as many complaints under such
circumstances about a *lack* of a warning for snow.
