A fault with the BBC Weather website and app is leading to incorrect forecasts of hurricane force winds in the UK and across the globe.
Graphics show 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.
And temperatures of 404C in Nottingham, 384C in New York and 378C in Sydney were among those being wrongly displayed.
