Storm Boelo brings amber wind warning and transport disruption to Britain
Developing story first seen 1 hour ago
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.
Boelo is expected to peak from this evening, with rainfall on higher ground in Scotland potentially exceeding 100mm in a day; much of England and Wales is forecast to be brighter on Sunday. 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.
