there is a 30% chance of disruption in the SE. What does that mean,
exactly?

I suspect it means that somewhere in the SE there is a 1:3 chance of a
tree coming crashing down. Thus disruption. The public are therefore
asked to make appropriate 'other plans' in view of this risk.

If they are unsure as to what will happen, as was alluded to in the text
then
don't give an advanced waring at all or at least wait until details have
firmed up enough to allow them to be more region specific.

It may be too late by then.

All the charts say is that there is a risk of disruption due to heavy rain
and strong winds which could affect anywhere in the country sometime over
the next four days. The risk of disruption is fairly low and very spread out
suggesting that confidence is low and it is not clear which areas will be
hardest hit, but any area is likely to be affected. It is then up to the
reader to make plans if they feel necessary.

OK Adam

the answer is to just leave the whole country showing a RED warning all of
the time all year round
thats a great idea
then ppl can make their own minds up and er make plans as you say lol
