Interesting UKMO T+72 with a low to the SW with a back bent occlusion
under a 120+ kt jet.
Possibilty for a rapid deepener and a Sting Jet and echoes of Fastnet
1979?

They've being going mad with the red crayon again the weather warning
dept. at the Met Office again.

Four consecutive days of heavy rain and severe gales. Over the
enitire country. In August.

I think not.

I accept that there has to some kind of caution in warning people what
*might* happen, but a blanket warning for 4 days is completely over the
top and when it inevitably doesn't happen we're back to the 'crying wolf'
accusations.
If they are unsure as to what will happen, as was alluded to in the text
then
don't give an advanced waring at all or at least wait until details have
firmed up enough to allow them to be more region specific.
Blanket warnings are meaningless.

Just to show how silly it can be is illustrated by the forecast for the East
of England for Monday the 13th.
It will be a bright day with sunny spells and just a few light showers.
Feeling pleasant with winds mainly light south-westerly. Maximum temperature
21 °C.

On the same page the whole area is a solid red along with the rest of the UK
which does not agree with the written forecast which is for a reasonable
day.

It may be too late by then.

All the charts say is that there is a risk of disruption due to heavy rain
and strong winds which could affect anywhere in the country sometime over
the next four days. The risk of disruption is fairly low and very spread out
suggesting that confidence is low and it is not clear which areas will be
hardest hit, but any area is likely to be affected. It is then up to the
reader to make plans if they feel necessary.
