'No need to panic buy plywood and candles'
The BBC has apologised for its weather app and website incorrectly forecasting "hurricane force winds" to hit the UK as it works to fix data issues.
"Don't be alarmed folks Hurricane Milton hasn't made it to us here in the UK!", he wrote on X alongside a screenshot of an extreme prediction on the weather app. There's been a data glitch between our suppliers and the app/online. Folk are working to solve the issue.""No need to panic buy plywood and candles."
Meanwhile, BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood told BBC Breakfast viewers that the weather centre was experiencing a "technical glitch" that they were trying to fix "right now".
