Got to agree, no idea why nothing was issued. Seems very inconsistent at times. 

 

Thank you

It does why not email them and ask why???

I did that for the storm that never was when they slapped warnings all over the country for severe gales when nothing was happening.. The answer I got "They weren't removed because the person responsible had gone for the night" So perhaps you'll get "gone out for breakfast or "gone out for lunch"

 

I did yesterday and got the stock response of impact based warnings. 

 

 

[Met Office Warnings]

This is not a thread to bad mouth the Met Office but I really dont understand the warnings that they issue at times or lack of them. I known they are based on impacts as well as how bad the weather is. 

No warning for us in the Western Isles winds gusted 70 mph across the Western Isles. Road closed, buildings with structural damage, power cuts and dangerous driving conditions.  For a time period of 8 hrs. So how dose that not warrant a warning?

[Storm Barbara - Atlantic Storm 2]

We still dealing with the 70 mph winds today!! then this on Friday!! 

[Atlantic storms winter 2016/2017]

yet nothing for today with winds gusting 70 mph 

[Atlantic storms winter 2016/2017]

My eyes are on tomorrow to start with 70 mph 

[Atlantic storms winter 2016/2017]

Christmas Day looks wild up here a little downgrade on 6Z 

 

tuesdsy could see 60/70 mph here 

[Atlantic storms winter 2016/2017]

Thursdays dont seem so bad here at the moment, Tuesday worth keeping an eye on for us in the Western Isles but again dont look like it will come to much?

[Storm naming - should the Met Office have named yesterday's low?]

No we had storms that strength so far this winter. You would be naming everything 

[Atlantic hurricane season/invest thread]

Anyone know if recon has been out to it yet?

[Storm Henry]

We do get lot stormy weather but some of these storms do send the island chain into lock down this is one of those times 

[Storm Henry]

on the verge of lockdown in the Western isles. 

[Storm Henry]

Will say it again worried about this one.. 

[Storm Henry]

I fear this could be worse then Gertrude
