I see from the radar picture a mostly blue colour for the SW and
surprised to see that this corresponds to a Regional warning valid
until 1900 this evening. It does not actually concern me in Dorset as
the warning 'stops' on the Dorset/Devon border..
On the other hand the 'yellows' over South Wales carries no warning.
I thought blue was lighter in intensity to yellow?

Felly sgrifennodd Robin Nicholson :

Maybe you missed it? I'm sure the 12:57 radio 4 forecaster said a warning
was out for the valleys.

Here in mid Wales we saw some good rain (from the garden and water supply's
point of view), though nothing heavy. 7.8 mm so far today (17:45), and now
sunny. Current temp 16.6C.

It's a forecast of severe drizzle.

Be careful if you're out driving.
