In another change, longtime meteorologist Carol Kirkwood did not appear in either of her usual spots.
She normally presents the latest weather forecasts from either the Salford studio or from London's New Broadcasting House.

Carol, 62, went live from Charlton Lido in Greenwich to deliver her updates in an outside broadcast.
Although the swimmers behind her stayed cool in the water, viewers noted subtle changes in the look of the presenter.
With every update, they thought the former Strictly Come Dancing star was getting sunburnt, especially on her chest.
They took to X - formerly known as Twitter - in droves as they slammed the show for exposing Carol to such heat and not putting her in the shade.
One viewer raged: "So @carolkirkwood presenting weather heat alert on @BBCBreakfast in direct sunlight & getting sunburn on her chest??…. COME ON #BBCBreakfast put our lovely Carol in some shade….. SET AN EXAMPLE."
A second noted: "National treasure Carol Kirkwood seems to have caught the sun. Dont forget your suncream Carol."
Whilst a third stated: "Carol, you are really red now."
"Oops! Carol forgot her sunscreen at the weekend," wrote a fourth viewer.
As a fifth penned: "Carol is getting more pink with every weather update. Please slap on the Factor 50."

This is not the first time the show has come under fire when it comes to reporting extreme weather conditions.
Fans previously slammed BBC Breakfast for it's "shameful" reporting during the killer Storm Babet.
They said production staffers were "careless" to send multiple reporters - who they claimed were of of their depth - to various affected locations.
