The BBC’s weatherman, Phillip Avery, apologized August 19 for predicting a “dry and hot day” when it ended up being a stormy one, the NY Daily News reported.

Avery apologized to “anyone who has had their next few hours ruined,” and explained:  “I have to say we can’t even blame the computers…the computers actually wanted to put those thunderstorms in there but forecasters thought that it wasn’t supported by enough evidence and so we went for the dry, hot option.”
