The first map the 18th shows yellow everywhere but the SE yet its a
warning for the SE, the remainder show no snow warnings at all.

The reason why the SE got its warning was that the yellow area covered a
small part of the region that the MO calls SE England. The part in
question was west of London and north of the M4, and seemed to roughly
correspond to Oxfordshire and maybe a bit of Berkshire too. Personally I
wouldn't call Oxfordshire part of SE England, but it's in the MO region.

Lawrence, just go to the foot of the page and you'll see the 'Local
Authorities affected..'
As I recall there was no mention of Greater London for this particular
warning.

The warning on the top of the home page clear said London and the SE. As for the bottom of the page its a bit late now.


It should do what it says on the tin not all this sensational warning tripe.


For UKMO purposes the highlighted area in the far NW of the map is
within the SE. It may not be your definition but that's what they use.
You'll find that definitions of regions and their boundaries is highly
variable, not just in the UK but world-wide.
Anyway, life's too short to get hung up about this. Take my earlier
advice and go straight to the foot of the page and check if Greater
London is mentioned.
