The BBC apologized for a technical glitch on its weather app and website that erroneously forecasted hurricane-force winds reaching up to 14,000 mph in various UK cities, including London and Nottingham. BBC meteorologists, including Matt Taylor and Simon King, reassured the public via social media that these forecasts were false and attributed them to a data issue from a third-party supplier. The actual weather in London was expected to include rain and drizzle, without any extreme wind conditions. The error caused confusion, especially in light of the real Hurricane Milton affecting Florida with 120 mph winds. BBC spokespersons have confirmed they are working with their suppliers to rectify the issue promptly. The anomaly drew widespread attention and was humorously addressed by BBC presenters, emphasizing there was no cause for alarm.
