You think Florida had it rough? Pff!
That’s a photograph of my computer screen showing the BBC hour-by-hour forecast this morning. That 2,269 is wind speed in miles per hour. It’s like that for a few days and then returns to normal.
BBC put out a sheepish note saying ‘yes we know we have a problem’ but it’s been 24 hours and it’s not fixed yet. Nobody knows how to drive their software, I guess. The more suspicious among us speculate that there are algorithms in place to tweak the incoming data and one has gone rogue.
I have a lecture to go to later, so this will do for now. All the best for everyone in Florida.

My bet is that they use Microsoft Windows, and that is a normal result of Bill Gates’ finest!

Somewhere between the conversion from kph to mph would be my guess. Math is hard!
