Hold on to your hats! Wind speeds in Kenilworth have apparently reached 14,398mph.

Well, not really. 

The over-zealous prediction is in fact the result of an error with forecast data on the BBC Weather site.

The BBC has said that the fault is from a third-party supplier.

The actual windspeed today (Thursday 10 October) is about 8mph.

A statement on the BBC Weather app reads: "We're experiencing issues with our forecast data. We're working to resolve it."

A later message reads: "Sorry, this forecast is wrong due to a data error. Please ignore while we fix the problem."

So, far from 'hurricane force winds', you can expect calm, albeit chilly weather in and around Kenilworth today.
