BBC slip-up predicts freezing temperatures for Kent

By tom

A slip-up on BBC weather last night predicted that Kent will be facing arctic temperatures of -99C.

Daniel Corbett, who presented the forecast, was meant to say the weather would reach 7 or 8C in the county.

The lapse echoes a forecast from the BBC last year that predicted Windsor would experience a heat wave of 232C.
