The forecast is..... pain?! Data firm behind the ongoing BBC weather app bungle wrongly showing 13,000mph winds don't know when it will be fixed

The firm behind a bungle which has left the BBC Weather app forecasting winds of 13,000mph for parts of the UK don't know when it will be fixed. BBC Breakfast weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was this morning forced to insist a hurricane was not battering Britain after the channel's app showed 13,508mph winds in London. Presenter Carol Kirkwood had to address concerns that hurricane force winds were hitting the UK after the BBC Weather app suffered a glitch The channel's app showed 3,500mph winds in London and 404C temperatures in Nottingham The app showed hurricane force winds across the nation. A BBC spokesman added: 'We're aware of an issue with our third-party supplier, which means our Weather app and website are wrongly predicting hurricane wind speeds everywhere. It's showing wind speeds far too fast - in fact hurricane strength - and of course that is not the case at all so please do not be alarmed by that' Viewers such as former MP Dame Tracey Crouch were quick to draw comparisons with Michael Fish's infamous broadcast brushing off concerns of a hurricane on October 15, 1987 The roof of Tropicana Field, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays, appeared to be badly damaged as Hurricane Milton passes Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024 Street lights are pictured on a ghostly deserted street in Orlando, Florida This satellite images courtesy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Regional and Mesoscale Meteorology Branch taken on October 9, 2024, shows the formation of Hurricane Milton over the Gulf of Mexico A map of the wind hitting land tonight as Florida residents are told to 'hunker down' Tropicana stadium had been a designated shelter for first responders and cleanup workers awaiting the aftermath of the historic storm and the destruction in its wake.
