Bu içerikte, Met Office’un açıklamasına göre, İngiltere genelinde bir test hatası nedeniyle “hayati tehlikeye önemli tehdit” içeren ciddi hava uyarıları telefonlarda göründü. Bildirimler, perşembe günü ülkenin farklı bölgelerinde yüksek sıcaklıklar, kar, buz ve yağmur gibi ciddi hava olaylarını içeriyordu. Üçüncü taraf bir toplayıcı tarafından gönderilen test uyarıları aslında halk tarafından görülmeyi amaçlamıyordu. Met Office, test uyarılarının şimdi kaldırıldığını doğruladı. Apple cihazlarında, kullanıcıların cihazlarına ciddi hava uyarıları gönderilmesine izin vermek için manuel olarak ayar yapmaları gerekiyor. Son bir haftadır İngiltere’nin birçok bölgesi Storm Bert’in yol açtığı sıkıntılı hava koşullarını yaşadı. Perşembe günü ise ülkenin çoğu için kuru ve soğuk bir günün ardından bazı bölgelerde ağır yağmur bekleniyor. Geçmişte BBC Hava web sitesi ve uygulamasında meydana gelen bir hata, imkansız derecede yüksek rüzgar hızlarının yanlış tahminlerini içeriyordu. Bu sorun, üçüncü taraf bir tedarikçi ile yaşanan bir veri sorunundan kaynaklandı ve daha sonra düzeltildi.

The test warnings very visible to Apple users on Thursday morning
Severe weather alerts warning of a “significant threat to life” appeared on phones across the UK due to a testing error, the Met Office has said.
Notifications warned of severe weather events including high temperatures, snow, ice and rain in different parts of the country on Thursday. The test alerts, issued by a third party aggregator, were not intended to be seen by the public.
One person on social media shared a screenshot of an alert warning of “severe high temperature” next to the forecast of 4C (39F) in Stockport.
The Met Office, which is responsible for weather warnings in the UK, confirmed the test warnings had now been removed.
Some warnings told recipients to “take action immediately” but also included description text that referred to it being a test warning.
Information contained in the alerts explained that the Met Office test warnings had been issued via a meteorological aggregator that sends weather alerts to a number of places including Apple devices.
It is thought that the testing error occurred during this aggregation process.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “We are aware of an issue where some test weather warnings were displaying on some websites and apps, we’ve worked with partners to ensure these test warnings have now been removed.
“We’re sorry for any inconvenience, there are currently no Met Office Severe Weather Warnings in force as of 14:00 Thursday 28 November.”
It is unclear how many people received the warnings, but many posted on X to say they had seen them.
“Why did I randomly get a severe weather alert? What’s going on?” one person wrote on X.
Another added: “Severe high temperature warning when currently 4C in the #Lakedistrict.”

The alert’s description referred to it being a test warning, as well as detailing a “significant threat to life”
On Apple devices, users have to manually allow severe weather warning alerts to be sent as notifications to their phones. This is done through the phone’s weather app.
Graphics warned of hurricanes and showed estimated wind speeds of 13,508mph in London and 5,293mph in Rome, as well as temperatures of 404C in Nottingham and 384C in New York.
The issue was caused by a data issue with a third-party supplier and was later fixed.
