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.
