About the Met Office Weather Warnings There are three types of weather warning issued from the BBC Weather Centre by the Met Office forecasting team. The initial warning of severe weather is provided through a Weather Watch, when the risk of a severe weather event occuring in the next five days is over 40%. This is followed by Early Warnings when the overall risk is above 60%. A Weather Warning is issued when severe weather is expected within the next few hours. Weather warnings will also be highlighted on TV broadcasts. When a warning is in force, full information can be found at

About the Environment Agency Flood Warnings The flood warnings are issued by the
Environment Agency
and the
Scottish Environment Protection Agency
and sent to the BBC Weather Centre, we then issue a compendium of warnings based on the latest information available.
