Why doesn't it have warnings on any more? It's all very nice having different fonts and stuff.... but no warnings?

Ummmm….errrr….isn't it at the top of the page, drawn to your attention by being contained within a yellow triangle???

Any hoo, we don't need it. After all, the direr the warning, the better it's going to be for us and local knowledge shows that any forecast over 20 knots (providing it happens), is going to bring some sort of warning.

Of more importance is whether the forecasts are being done totally by computers, without any human intervention or review and the accuracy thereof.

Opinions/clarification sought.

^^^ Could be worse, the warning could also be present when there was wind and that would be a disaster!
