Why does the Met Office issue warnings?
The Met Office issues warnings to help the public and emergency services prepare for severe weather. These alerts, like the yellow warning for Wednesday's winds, aim to minimise disruption and keep people safe. They don't predict every detail, but give a heads-up on potential impacts, allowing for necessary precautions to be taken.
