It appears that BBC viewers were treated to a somewhat unexpected and possibly amusing spectacle as they were looking for updates on Storm Dennis, which has descended upon Britain.
As the broadcaster relayed the Met Office’s amber warning, quite a few viewers noted that the shape of said warning over Wales vaguely resembled a male sexual organ, and proceeded to have a laugh about it online.

Some even suggested an alternative name for the weather phenomenon in question.

The second storm in a week hit Britain on Saturday, Storm Dennis prompted flooding alerts for many parts of the country and ended up disrupting flights and train services just as many schools start their half-term holidays.
