NEW YEAR PREDICTIONS

according to a BBC news report written during the daytime of new year's eve, we are told that ...

"Crowds of at least 350,000 people are expected in London ... In Scotland about 50,000 revellers are expected at Edinburgh's street party with 15,000 in Glasgow's George Square. In Wales some 30,000 revellers are heading for the Calennig celebrations at Cardiff Castle."

what kind of weird reporting/predicting is that?

what is the purpose in giving us numbers for something that hasn't happened yet?
