Me too, for my area and High Wycombe (my friend's plot). Think this one might be a blanket warning!

Ditto here in Oxford ... I can't imagine getting blight this early in the season ... I've just earthed up my potatoes - maybe that will minimise the chance of a spore landing.

Same here in Derby.........
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

I'm between DebP and Pescador, so not surprisingly I got a warning too.....I've never had one this early, in fact last year I didn't get a single full Smith period, just a couple of nearlies....doesn't bode well for my outdoor tomatoes!
