Yellow weather warnings are often issued at times of high wind and rain by the Met Office in the UK, and at times, due to snow and ice.
But what exactly do the Met Office’s weather alerts mean?
Yellow warnings are usually issued for weather that will cause “low level impact” and some disruption to travel. They may also be used for weather that could be severe but is considered unlikely.
Red warnings mean “dangerous” weather is expected with a high likelihood of risk to life, disruption to travel and energy, and the destruction of property and infrastructure.
