Great explanation of the Red Alert we have received in Torbay.

WHY THE RED ALERT GOVERNMENT WARNING.

Evening people,

It seems some are very confused as to why you've received the red alert government's warning.

Firstly, the red warning has not been extended to all of the southwest.

It is still only covering the north coast of Devon up through into Somerset.

The reason you've all received this alert is because you live within the southwest region.

The government alerts are issued to each region where there is a red weather warning and will be issued a few hours before it comes into force.

As they cannot pin point where you are within the southwest or south coast or Wales and so on, they send it to all mobile devices so everyone is made aware.

I hope this has explained why your mobile freaked you all out, making you jump and hope it stops comments being posted to tue Amber and Red warnings about it.

Kind regards

Dean
The UKSWSC Team
