- Another spell of wet and windy weather may arrive early next week.

## Summary

Storm Boelo is forecast to bring severe winds and heavy rain to the UK from Saturday, with the strongest conditions expected in the north. The warnings signal possible travel disruption, power cuts and localised flooding, following Storm Austen’s damage just a day earlier.

The Met Office’s amber wind warnings cover much of Scotland and parts of northern England from 21:00 BST on Saturday until 21:00 BST on Sunday, and parts of Northern Ireland until 10:00 BST on Sunday. Exposed locations could see gusts of up to 80mph; Storm Austen brought gusts above 75mph, and engineers had restored power to more than 60,000 properties by Saturday morning, though hundreds remained without electricity. Rain is expected to ease across most areas on Sunday, but another low-pressure system could bring further wet and windy weather on Monday and Tuesday.
