Do they think we are all idiots?

From the Telegraph:

The Met Office has warned people to only open doors where “needed” during Storm Floris.

The forecaster said the storm will bring “unusually windy weather” for this time of year, with 85mph gales and heavy rain set to hit parts of the UK.

A yellow warning for wind has been issued for northern parts of the country from 6am on Monday to 6am on Tuesday.

In a post on X linking to advice on how to stay safe in a storm, the Met Office said: “Storm Floris is forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain for parts of the UK from Monday.

“Stay #WeatherReady and check out some advice from our partners about keeping yourself, your home, and your garden safe.”

Other advice includes “open[ing] internal doors only as needed, and close them behind you”, parking vehicles in a garage, secure loose objects such as ladders, garden furniture or anything else that could be blown into windows and stay indoors as much as possible.

I can pretty much that you won’t see “85mph gales “ hitting parts of the UK, other than on the top of some exposed clifftop in the Hebrides where nobody lives.

Even Tiree, one of the most exposed places in the path of the storm, is forecast by the Met Office to get max gusts of 68mph.
