The forecaster was wrapped up warm in a grey puffer coat as he reported on the weather at Hampton pool in south west London.
Standing beside a heated pool for the early morning shoot the weatherman began to describe the scenery.
He said: “Doesn’t it look appealing? You see the steam coming off the Lido here at Hampton pool. 28 degrees in there, its only two celsius outside by the pool.”
Continuing to report on his surroundings, he added: “The roof top here has a little frost on, but has certainly not stopped the swimmers this morning.
“The appeal of the Lido is definitely not just for summer, it’s lovely in there I’ve been told,” he added.
However, viewers at home were quick to point out that he had made an error during his weather forecast.
Taking to Twitter to correct Matt, one wrote: “@BBCBreakfast pls tell Matt Taylor that it is water vapour seen coming from the Lido pool and not steam which is invisible.”(sic)
While another posted: “#BBC Breakfast #Matt #weather if that is steam coming off that swimming pool then those swimmers will be cooked!”
“Please tell the weather man Matt that is not steam coming off the Lido swimming pool. They aren’t cooking the swimmers,” added a third.
The meteorologist was also flooded with concerned messages by viewers who were scared that he’d be cold filming outside.
A worried viewer tweeted: “@mrdanwalker @louiseminchin please @BBCBreakfast provide your poor weatherman #Matt with a #woolyhat #poorchap #frostbiteontheears.”
Another wrote: “#bbcbreakfast …Matt needs gloves #earlychristmaspresent,” while a third added: “Layer Matt and wear a hat. Should be standard issue from the BBC.”
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC One.
