This was mentioned on last nights Newswatch on BBC News.

Officially the BBC say it was due to human error related

Thanks Brian. I wondered if the BBC had come up with any explanation.
They appear to need someone to press a button at the right time.
It seems the weather forecast does not go out live?

If you want to see a snip of what happened , fast forward to about 9:55 mins.
