06/12/2024 - Latest on the amber and red warnings - Met Office weather forecast UK

[@garethhamilton1252]

It’s eerie to watch a forecast like this when the weather is so calm outside. The calm before the storm.

[@OGillo2001]

Yes, a lot of the weather he is referring to will be happening outside

[@TimeyWimeyLimey]

40% of the people who drown never intended to enter the water. That is a stat we should be hearing more often in these weather warnings. Well done Aiden. Perhaps the Met Office could tweet it ?

[@gaycha6589]

If you are at sea or afloat, entering the water is the last thing on your mind.

[@andrewfulton3435]

How do they know the intentions of people who have drowned? Maybe I'm missing something?

[@TimeyWimeyLimey]

@@andrewfulton3435 He's talking about people who get swept away by waves or lose their footing on riverbanks rather than people swimming and getting into trouble.

[@yalova84]

Sorry, but someone needs to move the time slider. He has to bloack the whole screen to move through the futurecast. Gotta be a better way

[@IainEric]

Thinking the very same. Vertical on the right, assuming standing that side.

[@Andrew-dp5kf]

Could he not have used the control pad on the right hand side?

[@sih4143]

Something as simple as a tablet mirroring the monitor, on the table that they can see and use whilst only leaning over to point things out would be ideal.

[@RedHeadForester]

I think the idea is that the slider, where it is, is easily visible to us, the audience, but also and quite importantly if you pay attention to how fine the control he has is, if you made that slider any shorter he would struggle to navigate to exactly the frame he wants to show us. Either way you work it, it inconveniences us, but one way it also inconveniences him.

[@matthewtrow5698]

Very many thanks indeed Aidan. Well, whatever folk do from here on is against your excellent advice!! I totally agree that indoors is the place for anyone and everyone, if not they’re jeopardising everything, and it’s just NOT WORTH IT!! Many thanks for such very wise advice! You stay safe also Aida and all at the Met Office! TAKE GREAT CARE EVERYONE, ANY RISKS JUST AREN’T WORTH IT !!!!

[@willhemmings]

I note your forecast at 2.26, 'Some significant snow is expected, above 2 - 300 metres'. Now that is extraordinarily deep snow, ice age levels, but you did say this is a very dangerous storm

[@adrianthoroughgood1191]

Time to get on that train!

[@Julian-zj2qy]

[@wendysalter]

Thank you for your warning

[@Thomas154321]

You really need to move the date bar from the bottom to the side, so your presenter doesn't have his entire body covering the screen while the animation moves. I can't believe this even needs saying.

[@MariTeabag-lf1ly]

Remember the stick-on clouds, rain & snow?

[@DC-wt2vi]

Thanks Aidan. Important information delivered clearly and concisely. Do send a strong message of criticism to KZbin, however, for having the audacity and greed to interrupt you with _three_ adverts. The Met Office is doing a public service in making these forecasts. KZbin is showing its usual crass lack of ethics by intruding.

[@deathcrashtest64]

The Met Office can turn the ads off for the specific video.

[@halcyondaystunes]

You do realise the met office decide on the inclusion of ads? Oh, clearly not.

[@meredith2803]

Thank you Aidan

[@fezfez]

good analysis. very useful. thanks.

[@willburrows2759]

Someone probably been messing with the weather machines again

[@noelteague4303]

Hi Aidan. Can I make hopefully a 'constructive' comment. If you stand on the other side of the weather screen during your presentation you wouldn't have to keep leaning across the screen when you are pushing the screen control buttons so hiding the weather movements on the screen we are all trying to watching while you are providing the commentary.

[@personalcheeses8073]

That might work if he was left handed, which he obviously isn’t. If he did it your way he would have to have his back to the audience.

[@gillswift274]

Or use a long stick😂

[@mollypenwhistle2274]

That’s the only thing about this new system that needs a rethink but love the new screen otherwise and the presenters are fab well done all!

[@dafyddjones8910]

For some crazy reason, UK weather presenters stand on the left and obscure the map (S4C weather forecast is a notable exception) Please stay on the right-hand side of the map. The UK weather systems usually move in from the West so you would hide them. If needs be, move the location of the screen controls.

[@tarajhayes6073]

It could be because the bad weather is coming from that side?

[@Captain-ML]

My umbrella broke in this wind 😩 😂😂

[@radioactivepotato2068]

But absolutly delighted with thei clear and good guidance. iḿ 66 years old and need to habe clear info i can follow. Wishing the best to all in the red zones.

Candels as well, batterys with torch. DO NOT GO OUT. Thinking and praying for all. make sure all your eletrice stuff is moved upwards downstairs, cover and seil sockets.

[@Mike.Smth2112]

Has to be a one in 20 year event here in my area I don’t think I can ever remember experiencing a storm as bad. I had to go out and move some objects away from my car and it would only be a matter of when you got blown over if you’re dumb enough to stay outside. What was so bizarre about this storm was how quickly it went from being fairly calm to blowing a gale. It took about 10 minutes, surely that is unprecedented for the U.K.

[@Killroy76]

Exciting weather. Thank you UKMO for the warning

[@jeremyboulton5493]

Feedback for presentation. If standing on the right, then move the controls for playback to the right also rather than presenter standing in the middle of the screen. Alternatively move the main control panel to the left. In both cases just make the playback bar shorter. It doesn’t need to extend across the whole screen. The deep dives also suffer from this with presenters openly complaining about the settings!
