Red Warning: Dangerous weather is expected and, if you haven’t already done so, you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather. You may want to consider the impact of the weather on your family and your community and whether there is anything you need to do ahead of the severe weather to minimise the impact. You should think about changing your plans and taking action to protect yourself and your property. This means there is the possibility of travel delays, road and rail closures, power cuts and the potential risk to life and property. It is important to read the content of yellow warnings to determine which weather situation is being covered by the yellow warning.Īmber Warning: There is an increased likelihood of impacts from severe weather, which could potentially disrupt your plans. Other yellow warnings are issued when the weather could bring much more severe impacts to the majority of people but the certainty of those impacts occurring is much lower. Many people may be able to continue with their daily routine, but there will be some that will be directly impacted and so it is important to assess if you could be affected. Many are issued when it is likely that the weather will cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places. Yellow Warning: Yellow warnings can be issued for a range of weather situations.
To understand how likely we think the forecast impacts are, always check the matrix to see which box has been ticked. We show this combination of impact and likelihood in a matrix, which can be seen in the Further Details section of our warnings. These impacts can include damage to property, travel delays and cancellations, loss of water supplies, power cuts and, in the most severe cases, bring a danger to life. This means it is important to read each warning to know what level of impact you can expect for your chosen warning area – and how likely those impacts are to occur. Yellow and Amber warnings represent a range of impact levels and likelihoods. These warnings are given a colour (yellow, amber or red) depending on a combination of both the impact the weather may have and the likelihood of those impacts occurring. The Met Office issues weather warnings, through the National Severe Weather Warning Service, when severe weather has the potential to bring impacts to the UK. When applicable, warnings will include information on why a warning has been updated. Further details – additional information on the forecast weather.
