The Sun reports Storm Charles closing schools, grounding flights and flooding streets in Madeira and Lisbon. Its headline says the storm battered Europe with 99mph winds, but the body gives that figure only as a warning and forecast level. Al Jazeera reported that Madeira was struck by 81mph winds, and Anadolu reported that wind warnings for Lisbon, Setubal and Beja were cut from red to orange.

    “99mph winds”

    Why this matters
    The headline says Storm Charles 'batters Europe' with '99mph winds', as if winds of that speed had already struck.
    The impression it gives
    A reader believes 99mph winds have already battered Europe.
    The context
    The body gives 99mph only as a forecast or warning level, and the reported winds were lower: Madeira was struck by 81mph winds, and wind warnings for Lisbon, Setubal and Beja were cut from red to orange.
