The Colours

These are the colours used to help us identify storms and other weather related events, so long as it pertains to wind. All publications from the AAS will include some portion of this chart. Here is how its read. 

Grey is no wind at all. starting from there we move to green. thats 20kmh It moves into yellow at 40kmh then orange at 60 kmh. 70 is a deeper orange and 80 is dark red. 100kmh is full 255R red. 

Hurricanes

As soon as we cross the 100kmh border, it starts to turn white. A category 1 hurricane is Magenta. The black band at 118kmh is used to mark the border of one, the white is to tell us that the winds are rising. This trend then continues for each category of hurricane up to a Category 4. Which is currently the maximum Ireland can experience in terms of gusts. That will be the last black bar at the bottom. The red is counting everything above a category 5 hurricane wind. 

So, the entire image is not available as it simply does not fit on my screen, and trust me, I am using the largest screen I have access to. 

Arranged in the same pattern as the wind chart, the rain chart starts at green and each step is an increase of rain severity. 1 is light, 5 is medium, 10 is heavy, 15 is torrential, 20 carries a flood risk, 25 carries a major flood risk, 30 carries life endangerment. Above this is classified as a disaster, and carries a disaster response with it. 

Just like with the wind graph, the black and white bands indicate whether it is increasing in intensity or decreasing in intensity. Also, sorry this looks so bad on Desktop and I cant imagine how much worse it is on mobile.
