BBC Breakfast turned a little awkward during Carol Kirkwood’s weather forecast during Thursday’s episode after she told viewers the Met Office had issued a red warning.
Carol told viewers to take care and to expect heavy rain and gails, as Charlie said: “I was thinking the words hunker down, it’s one of those occasions where the words hunker down would be the appropriate thing to do which is unusual advice to get isn’t it in relation to weather conditions.”

Naga chimed in: “I can’t remember the last time I was told to stay at home because of bad weather, which is what people in Scotland have been told to do.”
Carol replied: “That’s right, but it is going to be pretty wild, we’ve got the torrential rain, as much as 250mm in some places, couple with gails, it is not a pretty picture.”
Naga added: “I can imagine it takes a lot for there to be a red warning, because you’ve been doing this a long time Carol, you know what you’re doing, you’ve got experience doing this, red warnings are very rare, they’re not slapped on lightly.”
Carol agreed: “They are absolutely not, the Met Office has to be pretty sure that the impact and the likelihood of this happening come together for a red warning to come out.
“We may get one, possibly two a year, if any, but they are very rare.”
Charlie then joked: “I’m presuming Carol that that is why you are wearing red today, it is also colour coordinated right?” as Carol laughed: “No it’s not, it is what is clean, what is ironed, yikes.”
Naga then jumped in: “At least it is clean, that’s a good thing isn’t it?” as an unimpressed Carol hit back: “What are you saying, it’s not ironed?” as Naga quickly moved on the segment.
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC1.
