About the Met Office Weather Warnings
The Met Office warns the public and emergency responders of severe or hazardous weather which has the potential to cause danger to life or widespread disruption through the National Severe Weather Warning Service.
The Met Office issues warnings for rain, snow, wind, fog and ice. These warnings are given a colour depending on a combination of the likelihood of the event happening and the impact the conditions may have.
For more information, see the Met Office Weather Warnings Guide.
About Flood Warnings
The flood warnings are issued by the Environment Agency, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Natural Resources Wales, and sent to the BBC Weather Centre. We then issue a compendium of warnings based on the latest information available. When severe flood warnings are issued they will also be highlighted on TV broadcasts.

Monthly Outlook
Summary
An unsettled start to the New Year
2018 begins on an unsettled note in the wake of Storm Dylan. Wet and windy but mild weather will eventually be replaced by something a little bit more cold and settled. But how long will any cold weather last into the New Year?
Monday 1 January—Sunday 7 January
Wet and windy
Happy New Year! The weather has started on a very lively note in the wake of Storm Dylan. Low pressure is dominating the UK and will bring a succession of fronts across our shores. Wet and windy weather can be expected through the week at times, the rain heavy and the winds strong for some. The weekend looks set to quieten down with the brakes applied to the Atlantic mobility. It will become colder and more settled across the UK.
Monday 8 January—Sunday 14 January
A cold snap?
The cold weather looks set to firmly establish itself over the UK by the first part of next week. We can look forward to mainly dry weather, but with the risk of some widespread overnight frosts. There is great uncertainty as to how long this cold snap will last into next week. As fronts try to push back across the UK from the Atlantic we may see some significant snowfall in some areas.
Monday 15 January—Sunday 21 January
A return to milder conditions?
Frontal zones are likely to attempt to restore some Atlantic mobility with a renewed threat of snow. There are weak signals for unsettled, milder weather to return by the middle of January.
Next week
We will look again at the potential threat of snow and if or when the milder conditions may be set to return.
Monthly forecasting
The weather beyond about a week ahead stretches even the most experienced weather forecaster. Complex numerical weather forecast models from the Met Office and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) are run many times for the month (and season) ahead to build up a picture of the likelihood of different weather types affecting the UK.Summary
