I see that there is still a yellow warning for heavy rain in force for the

North Midlands and the whole of the North of England, valid until midnight. The

warning was re-issued at 1707 this evening. It makes no sense. A glance at the

radar shows that the rain has already cleared all but the extreme NE of

England. It seems that the warning system doesn't include provision for

explicit cancellation of a warning or, if it does include such provision, it

isn't used. A warning for heavy rain this evening isn't particularly helpful to

Joe Public in this part of the country.

The local BBC forecast predicted 3-4' of surf today, same tomorrow. How do they get to these predictions?

Put a 1 in front it would be nearer the mark.

It's been impressively big, even in Penzance
