I think the issue comes from when they didnt issue a weather warning (Michael Fish) and most of the trees in Kent got blown over...so now they issue a warning when there is a strong breeze...just in caseNormal here, anyone getting storm and tempest?
I wish the met office would stop issuing these warnings when nothing happens it must cost industry squillions.

Strangely the BBC doesn't publish this type of news, preferring instead to treat the Met Office as infallible.

See Tom Nelson Podcast no 272; they’re old hands at fake weather, to presumably go with BBC’s fake news.The Met Office recently deleted large amounts of data from weather stations including Lowestoft, Nairn and Paisley, where they had continued publishing data despite those stations being closed as much as 10 years ago. The Met Office said the data was based on “well-correlated neighbouring stations”, even though there were no stations within a 40-mile radius.
Unfortunately they were caught out, although they did their best to keep this hidden.

Met Office Deletes Huge Chunks of Historic Temperature Data After Fabrication Claims – The Daily Sceptic
The Met Office has all but admitted that huge chunks of its UK temperature data are fabricated after it quietly deleted swathes of 'readings' from closed weather stations. Time for it to come clean, says Chris Morrison.dailysceptic.org
Strangely the BBC doesn't publish this type of news, preferring instead to treat the Met Office as infallible.
I don't believe fabrication of data is done on a widescale basis within the Met Office, but it comes up often enough that one can't help but treat any of their announcements with a healthy degree of scepticism.
