Storm Boelo: Second storm hits the UK with strong winds and rain

Hundreds of homes are without power in the south-west after Storm Austen brought strong winds and heavy rain on Friday - and there's another storm now hitting the UK.

Storm Boelo is bringing another bout of blustery and rainy weather across much of the country.

An amber warning for wind on Saturday is in place for Scotland, north-eastern parts of Northern Ireland and parts of northern England on Saturday and Sunday.

A yellow warning is in place for Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland across the weekend too, as well as a yellow warning for rain over much of the UK.

Public transport is likely to be affected as train operators say services could be impacted.

Ferry services in the Irish Sea are cancelled as well as ferries around the coast of Scotland.

The Met Office has warned there could be further power cuts and dangerous conditions around coastal areas.

The strongest winds are expected to be in Scotland on Saturday evening and into Sunday morning alongside yellow flood warnings in large parts of the country.

There are also flood warnings in parts of England, with flooding expected in Scarborough and part of Staffordshire.

Storm Boelo is the second storm of the season, arriving directly behind Storm Austen which hit the UK on Friday.

Strong winds and heavy rain battered parts of southern England, the Channel Islands and parts of Wales.

Thousands of people are still waiting for their homes to be reconnected to power and schools across Jersey and Guernsey as well as some in Cornwall.
