Rather more to get one's head round:

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_warnings.html

First new warning is an advisory for heavy rain in the south this
weekend.

Guide to colours:

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/guide/colour_warnings.html

Warning criteria (think these are only for Flash warnings though, a
subtle point I'd missed before):

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/guide/key_warnings.html

I thought this 'traffic lights' system was supposed to be simpler,
this is a nightmare!

On the 'yellow' advisory is a moderate risk of severe weather
the same as a low risk of extreme weather?

Yes, the colours seem to indicate the level of concern but do not of
themselves indicate the type of event ( severe or extreme ) other than
red only applies to extreme events, nor do they indicate any one type of
warning ( advisory, early or flash ) nor do they indicate any one level
of risk - as I read it.
