BBC News, Sky News and The Guardian report that Storm Boelo, the second named storm in two days, is forecast to hit parts of the UK on Saturday. The Met Office has issued amber warnings for wind covering much of Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and northern England, with gusts of up to 80mph (128km/h) possible in exposed areas. Forecasters warn of travel disruption, power cuts and localised flooding. Thousands of homes remain without power after Storm Austen hit on Friday.
