Forget white Christmas. Microsoft “predicts” the world will melt before the end of the year.

What you need to know

  • A bug caused weather widgets and graphics powered by Microsoft to show temperatures as high as 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • The issue seems to affect the Windows 11 weather widget and other displays powered by Microsoft’s weather information.
  • Generally speaking, the earth stays cooler than 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

As the holiday season envelops the globe, bringing snow-draped landscapes in some areas and warm sunshine in others, a peculiar glitch has emerged from the depths of Microsoft’s weather systems. Picture this: a world where the temperature soars to a staggering 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit, a scenario that would render our planet unrecognizable, with roads melting and everything ablaze. This bizarre phenomenon is the result of a bug affecting the Windows 11 weather widget and various Microsoft-powered weather displays.

The source of this anomaly remains a mystery, but it’s worth noting that the surface of the sun hovers around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while its core reaches a blistering 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. Thankfully, we are spared from temperatures that venture into the millions in this surreal digital landscape. Reports have surfaced from users like Guilty_Parking, who shared a screenshot of their widget displaying an astonishing 30,014 degrees Fahrenheit, while another user, darkfae83, echoed similar experiences.

Some might speculate that this glitch serves as a humorous nod to the gaming world, perhaps reminiscent of the fiery realms in Doom Eternal, or even a tongue-in-cheek reminder of Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to addressing climate change. However, the most likely explanation is simply a programming error. While I personally haven’t encountered this bug on my own device, our colleague Zachary Boddy has experienced it firsthand.

As we await a fix for this amusing yet alarming issue, it has sparked a wave of creativity online, inspiring users to share their own interpretations of this digital inferno. In the meantime, let’s take a moment to enjoy the lighter side of technology and the unexpected humor it can bring during this festive season.
