Boelo: Met Office names second storm to hit UK in 24 hours
- On October 24–25, 2026, Storm Boelo struck Northern Ireland, Scotland, and northern England with heavy rain and winds reaching 80mph in exposed areas. The Met Office issued yellow and amber warnings as the severe weather system caused widespread disruption.
- Preceding this system, Storm Austen battered southern England and the Channel Islands on Friday, October 23, before clearing eastwards into the North Sea. Boelo was invigorated by an active jet stream as it moved into northern regions.
- Severe conditions left more than 100,000 Scottish households without power and forced cancellation of over 130 flights across Scotland on Sunday. A 60-year-old man in Dumfries and Galloway and a man in his 20s in north London died after falling tree incidents.
- Scottish Social Justice and Housing Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville convened the Scottish Government Resilience Room on Sunday to coordinate response efforts. Engineers continue repairing damage including a breached sea wall on the A78 at Skelmorlie.
- Further strong winds are forecast through Tuesday, as the Met Office warns of additional disruption potential. Officials advise residents to monitor local reports closely, as buildings and trees weakened by the weekend remain vulnerable.
