What is the amber weather warning?
Weather warnings are divided into three colorsYellow, amber and red – the latter are the most serious.
The yellow color warning is the lowest level of warning and most frequently released. They guess that some serious weather is possible and suggests that people should start planning for some impact on travel, electricity or property.
However, when the level of confidence or expected disruption in either serious weather forecasting is increased, it is upgraded to an amber warning.
Essentially an amber warning means that there is a high probability of severe weather that will have a moderate effect.
