Met Office leaves people baffled with one-word Tweet – and offers hilarious explanation
The Met Office left people confused after posting a single-word tweet yesterday evening (August 18), but the weather service has since explained.
Twitter users were left in hysterics after the Met Office posted a rather bizarre tweet. The message on X (formerly Twitter) simply said "tHANKS", sparking confusion and a series of hilarious reactions online.
The national weather service, usually known for its precise forecasts, triggered a whirlwind of puzzled and joking responses from Twitter users with its cryptic post yesterday evening.
One person wrote: "wHATS THE WEATHER LIKE TOMORROW? " while another chimed in with a cheerful "yOU'RE WELCOME".
However, some didn't take too kindly to the vague tweet. An angry Twitter user exclaimed, "You guys got the forecast for Deal completely wrong today and are out here tweeting slop like this."
Echoing this sentiment, another added sarcastically, "This is the most accurate weather report you've made all year tbh."

While the Met Office hasn't given a serious reason for the unusual post, they did offer a rather funny explanation. "Oops, sorry about that! We must have been feeling under the weather...!" they wrote.
This amusing acknowledgement only fueled further commentary, with one person encouraging, "Please don't apologize and do this more often, tHANKS!"
Another remained curious, asking: "What was the 'tHANKS' for anyway?" To which another responded: "The final day without rain (probably until next year)."
