"When" is worked out from each warning's own times: "today and tomorrow" means it is still valid after midnight local time. Start times are not stored by this site yet, so a warning issued ahead of time is counted as today even if it starts later; the national service's page has its start time.
What the levels mean
- Yellow. The weather is potentially dangerous. The forecast phenomena are not unusual, but be attentive if you are doing anything exposed to the weather.
- Orange. The weather is dangerous. Unusual phenomena are forecast and damage and casualties are likely. Be very vigilant and keep up to date.
- Red. The weather is very dangerous. Exceptionally intense phenomena are forecast and major damage and accidents are likely, in many cases with threat to life over a wide area. Follow the advice of the authorities.
What this page shows
Orange and Red warnings issued by each country's national weather service and published through MeteoAlarm, the warning network of EUMETNET. A warning counts as in force until its own expiry time, and when a service updates a warning only the newest version is shown. Thresholds are set by each service for its own climate, so the same level can mean different numbers in different countries. This site does not issue warnings: follow your national weather service and local authorities.
