The BBC weather app predicts extremely strong wind speeds of 14,408mph and high temperatures of 404°C in the UK later today.

Some individuals woke up to quite a surprise this morning as they checked the BBC Weather app and were greeted with some rather shocking information. The app was showing hurricane force winds and a staggering temperature of 404°C. This caused quite a panic among users and even left forecasters scrambling to figure out what was going on.

Simon King, the lead BBC weather presenter, took to X to address the issue. He assured everyone that there was no need to worry and that these wild weather claims were due to some "data issues". He playfully added that there would definitely not be 14,408mph winds, hurricane force winds, or a scorching overnight temperature of 404°C. This caused some relief among users, but one social media user joked that they thought they had woken up in Florida instead of the UK.

There were also reports from some areas in Europe that they too were expecting hurricane force winds. This only added to the confusion and concern. Eventually, BBC presenter Carol Kirkwood addressed the issue on air, explaining that there was a "technical glitch" causing the app to display inaccurate information. She reassured viewers that the wind speeds were not actually hurricane strength and that they were working to fix the issue.

This was not the first time the BBC Weather app had caused confusion. In the summer, millions of people were shocked to see a forecast of a freak cold snap in the middle of July. The app was showing temperatures of 7°C-8°C for the UK and Europe, while the actual forecast was 16°C-23°C with light rain. Presenters failed to acknowledge the discrepancy, causing even more confusion among viewers.

Frustrated and baffled, viewers took to social media to try and make sense of the situation. It seems that this "glitch" was not the first of its kind and caused quite a stir among users. Despite the reassurances from the BBC, it's understandable that people were concerned about the accuracy of the weather information they were receiving. Hopefully, the issue will be resolved soon and we can all trust that the weather forecast is reliable once again.
