Great Alex, this video should be shown in schools.

[@meptune0335]

schools are off today, but yes

[@MG63]

Thank you Alex/Met Office.

[@vanessabrackfield5435]

Great explainer Alex.

[@nickshaxted9057]

Thanks for the explainer. For readiness under Red Alerts always prepare a Grab Bag with essentials (water, torch, phone but also key docs and personal items + clothes etc. Much advice elsewhere (but not social media). Bit cocerned though that both forecasters this morning seem to be wearing the same jacket. Is this the MetOffice jacket, or do you share?

[@ScottMaxwell_UK]

Quick comment of appreciation. Met Office is right up there with the likes of the BBC as being essential. Good work you guys. Thank you.

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello now are you very strong winds in Manchester was raining last night not raining at the moment best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😅😅

[@ABTrainsYT]

Don’t you have a so called Green Warning? I’ve seen it on the BBC Weather reports many times and it’s never been issued…

[@caitgems1]

Strong gusts in Greenock rn.

[@LucasBlox125]

Not bad in Angus.

[@amyjohnhope1]

I’m under my cover

[@meptune0335]

You’re okay! If you’re near my area, the storm should last until around 5pm. Stay warm, don’t go outside or travel. You’ll be safe as long as you have all of the supplies necessary stated in the EAS alarm notification. There may be power cuts, so make sure you have flashlights/candles. Stay safe!

[@amyjohnhope1]

Can we have the eas alarm the now mate

[@amyjohnhope1]

Please

[@meptune0335]

@amyjohnhope1 You’ll only get eas alarms if you’re in the red weather zone

[@amyjohnhope1]

@ I’m in a red weather zone

[@rlsailors7007]

Just completed a train journey from Manchester to Leeds, no unusual weather, birds displaying happily over Huddersfield, trees barely moving. The trains & stations are very empty due to bogus warnings from the Met Office. The economic damage caused by these over reactions is immense!!!

[@Skrobbo]

So you had the weather the met Office expect you to have in those areas. Thanks for confirming their accuracy.

[@Dorr234]

It is not in your area, you sound stupid

[@Dorr234]

More than 200 people died drowning in Spain for not listening to red warnings!!!!

[@letrions]

Most of your journey within the amber warning was in a tunnel.

[@markellse]

We could do with weather warnings when there is going to be no wind and we have to rely on gas power stations to keep things going. That way the Met Office always have something we can worry about.

[@Danilo99rangers]

Bad wind in Glasgow

[@GusShredny]

“ Severe weather can affect the U.K.”? Why has no one ever told me this?? This is terrible. Does anyone else know?

[@amyjohnhope1]

Guys I’m scared

[@nghani4368]

How is the weather condition in Dublin ? Pls comment on it. My child is there. 😞. Praying God everyone is safe.

[@Sally4th_]

It looks like the winds were strong overnight (65 kph) but not as bad as further north and it's much calmer now.

[@nghani4368]

@Sally4th_ Thank U Sally. 🙂. Your kindness ✨️
