A chilling weather forecast from BBC Breakfast star Carol Kirkwood
TALK about topsy turvy weather... BBC Breakfast star Carol Kirkwood found herself delivering a forecast yesterday with her maps showing Britain in the grip of a historic big chill – then a heatwave.
Her first map predicted a shivering minus 88C (-126F ) for Norwich, Glasgow and the Shetland Islands...wildly beyond cold even for the Antarctic. A later screen “correction” showed temperatures becoming plus 190F (88C) – enough to make Death Valley seem cool.
Carol, 53, recently voted Weather Presenter of the Year, took the hiccup in her stride.
But show presenter Susanna Reid, 42, joked: “When you said changeable, I didn’t know quite what you meant.”
