THE National Weather Service sends a weather advisory to people who are in an area that will be impacted by an upcoming storm.<\/p>\n
The weather warnings are usually transmitted through radio signals, via smart phone devices, social media or on a television screen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Weather warnings varies depending on the type of storm a city will experience.<\/p>\n
This can include heavy rain, snow, wind, fog and ice.<\/p>\n
They are sent out to advise people about the level of care they need to take depending on conditions.<\/p>\n
The following are the different types of weather warnings issued:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The\u00a0warnings also\u00a0have different colors depending on how bad – and potentially dangerous a storm will be.<\/p>\n
The colors vary from yellow, amber and red. <\/p>\n
Red is the most serious kind of\u00a0weather warning, it means that it is likely that the weather will cause damage, for example to buildings and roads.<\/p>\n
People are told to avoid travelling if they can.<\/p>\n
An\u00a0amber warning\u00a0is the next level down from a red warning, so the situation is not quite as severe.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Amber means it is quite likely that bad weather will affect people, possibly including travel delays, road and rail closures and power cuts.<\/p>\n
People should be prepared to change their plans to make sure that everybody stays safe from the impact of the weather.<\/p>\n
A\u00a0yellow warning\u00a0is the one down from amber, so is the least severe warning of the three.<\/p>\n
It means the weather is likely to have some impact, for example travel disruption.<\/p>\n
Many people might be able to carry on as normal but others will be directly affected.<\/p>\n
