TTV broadcasts 161 °C temperature error for Trójmiasto
During a live weather forecast on the Polish TV channel TTV, viewers saw an implausible temperature of 161 °C displayed for the Trójmiasto region, while other parts of the country showed normal values between 13 °C and 20 °C. The mistake was quickly noticed on social media, with accounts such as @make_life_harder joking that “Trójmiasto will die tonight.”
TTV responded on its official channels, acknowledging the error with a light‑hearted comment: “We know, we know – we over‑did it… but hold on in Trójmiasto!” The station’s presenter, Dorota Gardias, was also mentioned in the coverage. Viewers shared humorous reactions, ranging from jokes about unusually warm Baltic waters to playful speculation about a mix‑up between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
The incident sparked a brief wave of online memes but did not affect the actual weather. TTV treated the blunder as a humorous slip and moved on.
