Explained in plain English

What do yellow warnings mean?

A yellow weather warning from the Met Office indicates potential low-level impacts from weather, like today's fog, but usually means most people can continue with their daily routines. It's a heads-up to be aware and plan for minor disruptions, rather than a signal for widespread danger or severe conditions.
