The Met Office issues weather warnings, like the yellow warning for Birmingham, to alert the public to potential severe weather. These warnings help people prepare for impacts such as flooding or disruption. A yellow warning means there's a good chance of minor impacts, encouraging caution and allowing people to take steps like avoiding submerged roads.
