The BBC Weather website and app are suffering a data issue, meteorologists have said, after forecasts showed hurricane force winds hitting the UK.
Graphics show estimated wind speeds of 13,508 mph in London and overnight temperatures of 404C in Nottingham.
Presenter Matt Taylor said in a post on X: “Don’t be alarmed folks - Hurricane Milton hasn’t made it to us here in the UK! There’s been a data glitch between our suppliers and the app/online. Folk are working to solve the issue”…
13, 508 mph! surely there’s a different scale term than “hurricane force” for this
“Jovian hurricane force” would be more accurate.
Much faster.
The massive storm’s crimson-colored clouds spin counterclockwise at speeds that exceed 400 miles per hour – and the vortex is bigger than Earth itself. The red spot is legendary in part because humans have observed it for more than 150 years.
This is like Mach 18.
Apparently the fastest known winds in the solar system are 1,100mph and on Neptune.
Sorry, it was me. I flew out right before the hurricane and brought the weather.
Everywhere you go
Always take the weather with you
Come friendly winds.
