How this is written: each morning our system reads official sources (GOV.UK, Met Office, Environment Agency, NCSC, Parliament and some US government sites) and an AI model writes this briefing from their own words. Rules in our code reject predictions, alarmist wording and any figure that is not in the official source. Always follow the source link for the official wording.
