Our local BBC TV news said there was a special debate today in Westminster about the UKMO losing its contract with the BBC.

Someone was worried that the new provider of forecasts for the BBC would issue a different forecast than UKMO in times of bad weather.

Apparently though the BBC says they will continue to issue the UKMO weather warnings.

Thank goodness for that.
I don't know what I would have done without the yellow warning for rain today.

Yes, those multiple yellow warnings were a life-saver. Allowed me to 'be
aware' for the 7.2 mm of torrential light rain that fell today.

Perhaps somebody should issue a usw sarcasm warning?

26.2mm here. But that is not a great deal for these parts. I need a warning
for 40mm+ not piddling little amounts.

19mm in Teignmouth and most fell in the morning, being especially heavy in the morning drive to work time. Worth a warning, I would have thought?
