Presenters Naga Munchetty and Charley Stayt questioned Carol if the app was giving an incorrect forecast

Carol replied: "It certainly is, we're having a technical glitch at the moment it's showing speeds far too fast, in fact, hurricane strength."

She added: "That is not the case, at all so please do not be alarmed by that and we are, as you say Naga, well aware of it and we are on it.

"We're trying to fix it right now so hopefully that will sort itself out in the not-so-distant future."
