BBC Weather: "Hold my beer..."
A fault with the BBC Weather website and app has led to incorrect forecasts of impossibly high wind speeds in the UK and across the globe.

Graphics warned of hurricanes and showed estimated wind speeds of 13,508mph in London and 5,293mph in Rome - far in excess of any genuine hurricane such as Milton, which struck Florida overnight.

Temperatures of 404C in Nottingham, 384C in New York and 378C in Sydney were among those being wrongly displayed.

My sister sent screenshots of a misbehaving weather app from her Samsung phone the other morning:

We determined it was somehow taking the true °F measurement as °C, converting it to °F, and reporting that. (46°C=115°F) it was corrected within minutes.
