Is yellow rain as bad as yellow snow?

It contrasts well with...

 

I would think yellow rain is worse. At least you know what's in yellow snow.

 

No, no, no. Hate to spoil the fun.
It is a yellow warning, not yellow rain.

 

Hello,

We will get the thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon.

So it's safe to drink this water lapping round my feet then?

No sense of adventure?

Good luck with that.
We've had no thunder today but plenty of rain.

 

And it's still raining today...

...Sorry, couldn't resist

I feel an urge to get that album out and see of the old turntable still turns.

 

OK, I can understand Yellow Warning but I have a question about this:

21:55 on Tuesday until 06:00 on Wednesday
Strong to gale force west to northwesterly winds will continue to affect parts of north Wales and northwest England overnight into Wednesday. Gusts of 45 to 55 mph are likely, mainly in coastal districts and over hills. Expect some localised transport disruption with some trees perhaps uprooted. Large waves and spray will affect some coasts. This is an update to the warning to shrink the area to parts of north Wales and northwest England but extend the end time until 0600 Wednesday morning.

Why are the gust expressed in MPH (Miles Per Hour) rather than km/h Kilometers Per Hour?

Reminds me of the old joke:

What's black and white and red?

The answer is (Drum roll): A newspaper (without color photos of course).

What's the source of that forecast and who is the primary audience?

Because it's for the UK not France.

 

At the moment we don't have any weather. It's not raining, windy, or sunny.

Because the UK is not completely metric. The motorways still use mph.

Been there several times and never noticed that. Well thanks there Gopher. Thank you also to Albert!

As the saying goes. There are the countries which use metric system measures and the countries which put a man on the moon.

 

And countries that lost a Mars mission due to confusion between metric and imperial units.
