## Summary

Storm Boelo has brought renewed disruption as the UK faces its second named storm in two days, with gusts potentially exceeding 80mph and heavy rain. An amber wind warning covers Scotland, parts of northern England and north-east Northern Ireland, while ferries and trains face delays or cancellations and a marathon in Eryri National Park has been cancelled.

It follows Storm Austen, which hit the South West, leaving more than 3,700 homes without power on Saturday morning after engineers restored electricity to over 60,000 homes. Austen also damaged Brighton’s historic West Pier and caused other local damage.
