In the weather app I regularly get Emergency Warnings for Severe Weather conditions. Which are supposed to inform me about 'Life Threatening Weather Conditions'.
Yet the conditions in the symbols for weather show sunny weather or a clear night; things that hold no threat at all. Inspecting the warnings leads me to the national weather office which states that due to light snow or little icy rain, the roads may become a little slippery. Or in other instances the Severe Weather warnings leads to conditions of 'a little windy' weather.

I wonder if this is the same in other countries. I live in the Netherlands and there may be a simple mismatch between the national weather service and Apple in the way their weather code for Sever Weather is translated from one system to the other. But it is quite annoying.

I'm in the US and am not having that issue. I do get severe weather alerts when they are relevant.
