It should suffice for forecasters to simply provide us with their best assessment of the forthcoming weather and for risk assessments to be left to organisations better placed to assess risk
However I'd suggest that you can easily and validly critique the accuracy of their forecasts simple by observing the actual weather compared to the forecasts
When " rain and cloudy tomorrow," turns out sunny all day then one can confidently mark that down as not accurate. [This was for Tynemouth on Saturday]
The purpose of all this catastrophe mongering is not to provide useful information about the day’s likely weather to help us decide what clothing to wear and whether to take an umbrella but to reinforce the man made climate change narrative.
To persuade people to take it seriously and alter their lifestyles to the required new austerity it is necessary to try to persuade them that the weather is getting worse, more variable and it’s all our fault.
As people become more sceptical so the catastrophe mongering becomes more idiotic. That’s where we are now.
The warning system seems aimed at removing judgement from individuals and drives to a world of if A then do B. If yellow warning headmasters can close schools as they have cover (as an example). The weather warnings are another example of societies creeping risk intolerance mixed with our need to be told, rather than merely advised, what to do by “experts”
Working in a 24/7/365 industry, weather is something we work around for the vast majority of the time and occasionally have to change plans because of.
I'm sure we could all write G&S patter songs extolling the virtues of British government departments and quangos. Each stanza would end:
I've go a little list,
They never would be missed.
Good read (as usual!)

Yes - many fewer please.
