BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood speaks out after BBC Weather forecasts 14,000mph hurricanes


BBC Weather has been hit by a technical glitch in which it is forecasting 'hurricane-strength' winds of 13,963mph for Manchester, with weather presenter Carol Kirkwood addressing the issue.

In a light-hearted moment, Naga joked about Carol returning to solve the glitch, asking: "So you're going to get back with your screwdriver and your welding torch? Although Simon recognised the concern that such glitches might trigger, noting that not everyone would immediately spot a tech error, the incident comes amid the serious backdrop of Hurricane Milton devastating Florida, with significant power outages and reported fatalities. The hurricane touched down near Tampa Bay at about 1.30am GMT (8.30pm local time), but its arrival was heralded by torrential rain and tornadoes, earning it the moniker "storm of the century".
