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.
And meanwhile this morning they over over-doing the weather by having a UK opt that is rolling with the weather and nothing else.........
