Obviously they think that folk up there are made of tougher
stuff and don't need an orange warning to be
told to be prepared.

Thanks, Len.

Yes, I have been explicitly told by a Met Office bod that they
might not issue a warning for 60mph winds in winter in the north
of Scotland, while the same wind strength in southern England in
summer would certainly trigger a warning. That's perfectly fine
as far as I am concerned.

However it didn't answer my question, which related to apparent
inconsistencies in warnings in the same area in less than 2
days.

Tomorrow's maximum wind is now forecast to be 25 mph gusting 44.
No warnings.
