Writing on X, BBC Weather said: “You may have noticed some data issues on our app and website.
“We are working hard to fix it quickly. Sorry – please bear with us.”
Lead BBC Weather presenter, Simon King, warned Brits “not to be alarmed” by the gaff.
He wrote on social media: “Oops, don’t be alarmed by some of our @bbcweather data this morning.
“Be assured there won’t be 14408mph winds, hurricane force winds or overnight temperatures of 404°C.”
Meanwhile weather presenter Carol Kirkwood addressed the confusion live on BBC Breakfast.
She blamed a “technical glitch” the team were “well aware” of.
