BBC Nottingham weather forecast predicts winter temperatures amid glitch

A strange anomaly on the BBC's weather forecasting app and website has sparked confusion, as the broadcaster predicted temperatures of around 8C across Nottingham over the next few days. Those chilly temperatures are a far cry from the Met Office's declaration that the UK is on track for its hottest June on record.

The BBC says temperatures will drop to 13C on Sunday, July 2 before falling to a winter-like 8C and rain between Monday and Thursday. This completely contrasts with the Met Office outlook, which says temperatures will peak at 18C.

The BBC anomaly is the same for locations across the UK and Europe, with cities including London, Berlin all being forecast dramatically low temperatures during the same period. Many shared their puzzlement over the bizarre forecast, with one asking: "Anybody getting unbelievably low temperatures BBC Weather?

Is the government doing enough to help with the cost of living? Let us know

"No way is this right." Another added: "Please tell me the BBC Weather app is broken because this seems unusually pessimistic for June/July."

A third insisted that the BBC website must be a "bit broken", while another suggested that it was "drunk", with another adding: "Are you serious BBC? New Ice Age?"
