    Don’t believe the BBC is always good advice, so 1/9.

    Knowing the Met Office, this could be for real.

    Don’t be encouraging “Bristol – the boxer type dog” to bark at umbrellas again.

    Sound advice. Those ‘weather people’ really know how to guess the upcoming weather, and have their excuses prepared! Amber eh? Anyone know wtf that really means?

    Pronounce Ciaran thus; kee- ron

      If things are going to be done correctly then is it an Irish Gaelic Ciarán or Scots Gaelic Ciaran? As it was named after Ciarán Fearon a citizen of Nothern Ireland we should be using an á, otherwise mispronunciation is inevitable. This is a bit of messing around but by setting up French as alternative Keyboard and switching between English and French (LEFT+Alt+Shift) it can be done. I’m sure there are other ways, possibly simpler.
      In the interests of inclusivity we should start by including citizens whose language has been spoken in the British Isles longer than English. So for Scots Gaelic – Gàidhlig languages à, è, ì, ò, and ù plus different pronunciations of letter combinations like “mh” and “bh” before a constant for a “v” sound, no letter v in Gàidhlig for example. Letters that don’t exist are Jj, Kk, Qq, Vv, Ww, Xx, Yy, Zz

      I don’t speak Gàidhlig but it was my grandmother’s preferred language.

    It should simply say:-
    Yellow warning. Anything other than a pleasant day.
    Amber Warning. Typical Autumn/Winter weather expected.
    Red Warning. The type of bad weather somewhere in the UK sees every 2
    or 3 years.
