Storm Boelo: Travel disrupted and events cancelled as UK hit by wind and rain

• Amber weather warnings are in force as Storm Boelo hits the UK, with gusts of 60-70mph forecast and up to 80mph in exposed coastal spots in Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and the far north of England. • The storm has already disrupted travel and events, with flights cancelled at Dublin airport and Liverpool’s River of Light and London’s Diwali on the Square celebrations called off. • Boelo follows Storm Austen, the season’s first named storm, which left hundreds of homes without power in south-west England on Friday.
