The custard and blancmange now has a cherry on top...

The Met office have just (1230 on Thursday) upped their amber alert to red for just South Wales which strikes me as a bit bizarre and a bit overly precise but there you go.

I suppose that the area they've marked up just north of Cardiff is around 250m or higher, but if you do that then why not highlight Exmoor?
Obviously giving a snow level may not have clarified the warning but it might help the public gauge the severity by saying "rain near the coast, 2 to 5 cms inland but 15 to 25 cms on any higher ground above 250m"
I do hope that the "Be Aware" colour the Met Office use in their alerts is custard rather than of the egg-yolk kind...
