dangerous sunspot report

The hot water sign is useful. I found taps with hot water warning signs are usually so hot it will burn your hand if you use it. Hot water tap should dispense warm water so you won't be freezing cold when you wash your hand in winter, rather than so hot you have no choice but to put up with the cold tap.

I don't agree with a Nanny State as such, but sometimes people need to be warned. So I am with Glen on this one, a warning should have been given and its was irresponsible not to do so.

Absolutly!, frankly I'm rather suprised to find astronomers here who wish to debate such a point. The only downside of warning is that it might irritate a few folks by telling them something they already know - hardly worth worrying about in my opinion.
