Yes, as I said the other day the warning situation was shockingly bad - and obviously so, too. I can only think the MetO were distracted by the snow rather than going by what the models were showing further south!
To only issue a wind warning at 7 o'clock yesterday morning down here was pants, frankly, especially considering all the disruption on Saturday due to trees coming down on railway lines and motorways, as well as the usual damage to fences, flying trampolines etc. Again, if an armchair weather-watcher like me could see it warranted a warning, why couldn't they?
I can't speak for the rain side of things, as that wasn't an issue here, but going by what happened further west it looks like they underperformed there as well.
I know there's a balance between "crying wolf" and leaving things too late, but this has to go down as a big fail. Hopefully they'll find a better balance next time.
