Forget white Christmas. Microsoft “predicts” the world will melt before the end of the year.
December 6, 2024
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.
