Storm Boelo: Met Office names second storm as 53 areas told 'gather essentials'
The Met Office has warned Storm Boelo could spark disruption across parts of the UK following Storm Austen, with damage to buildings and injuries and from flying debris possible
The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for wind and named a new storm set to bring disruption to parts of the UK this weekend following Storm Austen.
Storm Boelo is expected to bring a "very windy spell" to Northern Ireland, Scotland and parts of England from 6pm on Saturday until 9pm on Sunday.
Some areas could see gusts of 70-80 mph or more, with injuries and danger to life from flying debris possible.
The Met Office has warned 53 areas to gather essentials, including torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack as the storm threatens to spark power cuts and damage to buildings.
Road, rail, air and ferry services may also face disruption, with longer journey times and cancellations possible.
The warnings add: "Injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties."
