The first thing to do is to check your local weather forecast and keep up to date with the latest warnings. Remember that you can also get this information on our mobile apps if you are out and about so you can always stay up to date.
Know the key messages
Warnings are given a color depending on a combination of both the likelihood of the event happening and the impact the conditions may have. Each color has a key message.
