The number of people of people in the UK watching BBC News at midnight is incredibly low, we're talking a few 10,000s. Newsday/the slot is semi-targeted towards the Asia-Pacific region, where they have actual extreme weather events on a fairly regular basis. Given how slow the channel is these days, they don't need to spend a third of each edition of a programme barely being watched in the UK supplanting actual world news with a forecast of which bins are going to get knocked over.
There are times when the channel has made the wrong calls with UK news, but I find it hard to see this as one of them.
