Default BBC's use of Finishing Numbers instead of Overnight Min Temps

With overnight lows forecast down to -5c in many parts of the rural
south of England tonight, why does the BBC choose to show "Finishing
Numbers" at 09:00AM (BBC Forecast on News at 10 23/11/07), which will
be around +1c in many parts @ 09:00?

Surely it is much more important to indicate that temperatures will
drop well below freezing overnight, particularly if you are out
driving overnight and need to take care on the roads, or you are a
Farmer and need to look after the welfare of your animals, rather than
showing the temperature when most people are having their breakfast.

Come on BBC, start showing the information that the viewer really
needs and get rid of your awful graphics & fly byes.
