Laura Tobin has been blasted by Good Morning Britain viewers after delivering a "doom and gloom" warning on Monday as she explained temperatures would continue to rise following a warm weekend.
The metrologist told ITV viewers: "Scientists have been monitoring all sea temperatures and the thing that is really concerning that was alerted this weekend was that the North Atlantic is seeing temperatures way above average."
"This is the highest sea temperature we have ever recorded in the North Atlantic and the North Atlantic is where our weather systems happen and develop," she continued. "We are likely to see more power for our storms...we're also seeing an influx of jelly fish around our shores so more heat in the ocean, means more heat in the atmosphere, means more storms for us so this not welcome news."
