Default BBC forecast for "Saturday day"?

I notice that the 0:05GMT Sunday update for this page:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/

helpfully starts with a forecast for "Saturday day". This isn't a one-
off, either. What on earth is the point?

You browser doesn't have a vertical scroll control?

Below "Saturday Day" is "Saturday Night" Though I guess this can be a
bit confusing for some people as the last update is "0:05 28/12/2003"
ie 5 minutes into Sunday...

Though if they called the current period "Sunday Night" theer would be
even more people confused as that would generally refer to a period
about 18hrs hence. Calling it "Sunday Morning" would similary refer a
period in about 8hrs from now.

Oh and it could be useful to check how accurate their forecast wasn't.

snip

I appreciate that. My point is that seeing as there is an update five
minutes into Sunday, why not remove the (by then useless) "Saturday
day" forecast" and start with the night one?
