Storm Boelo: Where will it hit and how bad will it be?

Northwest Scotland is expected to be Boelo's first stop before the storm tracks east overnight into Sunday. For people in northern Britain and Northern Ireland, ITV News' forecast points to a difficult distinction: this system could move more slowly than Austen, keeping severe weather around for longer.

The briefing has drawn more than half a million views in ten hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. A separate short explaining the two storms has also drawn an unusually fast audience.

After the southwest-focused Austen coverage we reported here, the emphasis is moving north. Boelo is forecast to affect a wider area, bringing risks of further travel disruption, localized flooding and difficult conditions, with little breathing room between the systems.

The presenter traces both storms to an active Atlantic jet stream. The report first works through Austen's wind warnings for southern England and Wales, then turns to Boelo and the yellow wind warning covering Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.

That weekend outlook arrives near the end of the briefing. For anyone making half-term journeys, the presenter's practical message is to check the forecast before traveling.
