Am I the only one who thinks, actually the alert system should be used for something more useful than "you're about to die lol"? Sure it's common sense that the country is dry and fire is bad, but people are still using BBQs and camping stoves and smoking cigarettes so it's clearly not so common. 🤷🏻‍♂️

didnt get the alert myself cuz 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but if they could send the alerts Not As A Siren (or even just a text/similar) for this sort of thing that would be ideal yh problem is the fact that the ux is designed for "ur gonna die" so if its not urgent its really annoying

on the online list of alerts it just says england and wales,, idk if its to do w devolution or sthn but seemingly wasnt in northern ireland either 🤷

I would guess maybe Scotlands just not as hot and dry but then the fires in the Cairngorms were obviously awful so that's not really the case. Probably up to devolved governments like you say.
