A second storm in as many days is set to batter parts of the UK, as thousands of homes remain without power following powerful winds and heavy rain on Friday.
Storm Boelo is forecast to hit on Saturday, with an amber weather warning issued from 21:00 BST across much of Scotland as well as parts of Northern Ireland and northern England where gusts of up to 80mph (128km/h) could lash exposed areas.
Travel chaos, power cuts and localised flooding are all possible as the storm sweeps in on Saturday.
The warning comes just one day after Storm Austen unleashed wind gusts in excess of 75mph, resulting in toppled trees, transport disruption and thousands of power outages.
