Met Office explains how to truth around the percentage on weather app as TikToker gets it wrong

A TikToker who gave an explanation on how people can read their weather app has been told they are the one getting it wrong. The post has gone viral after claiming people are making mistakes when they use the app.

It suggested when you see a percentage it does not mean that is the chance of rain. And it said people had been making the same mistake for years.

The initial TikTok claimed it actually meant the area of your local region which will be hit by the rain or thunderstorms. However the Met Office has stepped in to put the matter straight.
