Alert!

The clouds are lying low in the sky: full cloud cover with bumpy cloud base. Monday next has an amber alert for the strength of the wind. They have alert everything these days. It's as if they are worried that if they don't give us a warning and something goes wrong, they will blame us for it. Probably nothing will happen. But we won't remember that they gave us an alert, nothing happened. We only remember when they don't give us one and it all goes terribly wrong.
