Despite apparent threats of hurricane-level winds and absurd high temperatures, it is still safe to cycle outside in the UK on Thursday, as the extreme weather forecast is the result of a glitch.
If you woke up on Thursday morning, checked the BBC Weather app and thought something was amiss, you weren't alone. On the app, "hurricane force winds" were forecast for much of the UK, with some up to 15,759mph, just 15,544mph above the fastest-ever recorded cyclone. Meanwhile, temperatures were shown as up to 404°C in Nottingham, 347° above the highest-ever recorded temperature.
