Folk are working to solve the issue."In another post, Presenter Simon King said: "Oops, don’t be alarmed by some of our BBC Weather app data this morning.Forecasters have also acknowledged the issue on TV bulletins.
In Edinburgh, the glitch suggested winds speed would be 17,246mph. In Belfast, it was suggested gusts would reach 14,398mph, and in Cardiff winds were said to be 12,585mph. In reality, on Thursday there will be rain and drizzle in the south of the country and blustery showers near the east coast.
