Met Office issues Amber and Yellow Warnings as Storm Boelo brings 80mph gusts and heavy rain to UK.
Storm Boelo, the second named storm to hit the UK in 48 hours, has prompted the Met Office to issue amber and yellow weather warnings for strong winds and heavy rain across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, the Midlands, and Wales. Gusts of 60-70 mph are expected widely, with exposed coastal areas potentially seeing 80 mph or more. The warnings, active from Saturday evening through Sunday, indicate a "good chance" of power cuts, flying debris, and a "danger to life." Heavy rain also poses a risk of surface water flooding in parts of the Midlands.
