Only a yellow warning to be aware from UKMO again though.


Some years ago, and I copied the correspondence to this group, I took
issue with the MO over their warning policy pointing out that a 'yellow'
for 25mm of rain for this area would probably warrant an 'amber' or even
'red' for somewhere like Essex. I think they conceded the point but, for
consistency, applied the same criteria over the whole of the UK.

Seemed a bit daft to me, but then lots of things do.
