Reporting from Maryport

I'm in Maryport on the west Cumbrian coast, where I've really been getting an idea of the battering that this storm has brought to so many coastal communities overnight.

There are several red flood warnings in place here and further down the coast. They've been closing the floodgates to try and protect waterfronts, homes and businesses.

Winds have approached 78mph just down the road at St Bees Head. There are trees down in some places, and localised flooding.

And then there's the travel disruption. Avanti West Coast say not to travel north of Preston, and LNER say the journey between Edinburgh and Aberdeen should not be made.

There are 10 flood warnings and 66 flood alerts currently active in England.

A warning is the more extreme of the two categorisations, and indicates flooding is "expected".

The majority affect the north of England, where Storm Boelo is hitting hardest:

• Bessy Brook at Lostock in Greater Manchester
• Irish Sea at New Brighton in Merseyside
• Keswick Campsite in the Lake District
• Lee's Bridge at Astley Bridge Central in Greater Manchester
• Millingford Brook at Ashton in Makerfield
• Rainford Brook at Rainford North in Merseyside
• River Barle from Simonsbath to Brushford, including Withypool in Somerset
• River Exe at Winsford and Bridgetown in Exmoor
• Skirden Beck and Kirk Beck at Bolton by Bowland in Lancashire
• Tue Brook at Clubmoor in Merseyside

The Environment Agency urges people in some areas to "start acting on your flood plan if you have one".

It also says to "take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water", and to avoid low-lying footpaths in some areas.

Transport for Wales says services between Cardiff Central and Pontyclun may be delayed by up to 45 minutes because of "heavy rain flooding the railway".

Services may be cancelled in both directions between Cardiff Central and Bridgend. Disruptions are expected to last until 12:00 GMT.

Natural Resources Wales, which looks after the Welsh environment, has put out five flood warnings and 45 flood alerts across the nation.

Four of the five warnings (issued when flooding is expected) are along the River Ely in South Wales.

Flood alerts are issued when flooding is possible.

Thousands of homes across the island of Ireland are without power as Storm Boelo hits.

An amber warning is in force across parts of County Antrim and County Londonderry until 10:00 GMT on Sunday, while an orange wind warning remains in place in County Donegal until 09:00.

The worst impacted areas in Northern Ireland include Springfield in County Fermanagh and Bushmills in County Antrim, where more than 1,000 homes near each village are without power.

The power network company, SSEN, is logging 57 unplanned power outages across Scotland this morning (we've asked how many properties the outages are affecting).

These are mainly concentrated in the Western Isles, the west Highlands, and Argyll and Bute, the areas which have seen the brunt of Storm Boelo overnight.

There are reports of flooding along the Clyde coast in the towns of Largs and Saltcoats.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) has 32 flood warnings and 11 flooding alerts active as of 07:00.

The strongest winds have generally been across the north-west of the UK, chiefly Scotland, where gusts of over 80mph have been recorded.

There were also strong winds further south, in fact 85mph on the Isle of Wight.

Most of the rain has now cleared in southern parts, but many central and western areas will see showers today, and Scotland has further showers and heavy rain to come.

Winds remain strong this morning, easing in the south this afternoon and in the north overnight.

Fallen trees and flooding have been causing disruption on the roads in Scotland, with Traffic Scotland issuing a string of updates on social media.

It says several A roads remain closed in some areas, including:

• The A82 at the Bridge of Orchy is closed in both directions due to fallen trees
• The A84 in both directions at Runacraig due to a fallen tree
• The A87 in both directions at Breakish due to a fallen tree
• The A76 Drumlanrig in both directions due to a fallen tree
• The A726 in both directions at Righead Roundabout due to a fallen tree

Sections of two motorways were also closed earlier but have since reopened:

• The M74 motorway - which runs from Glasgow to the English border - was closed northbound between Junctions 7 and 6 due to a fallen tree
• The M8 motorway - which connects Scotland's east and west coasts - was also closed at Junction 18 eastbound due to flooding

When dangerous weather is forecast, a weather warning will be issued by the Met Office, the UK’s national weather service.

Weather warnings are given a colour – yellow, amber or red - with yellow being the lowest, and red the most serious. The colour assigned depends on a combination of two things: the impact the weather is likely to have and the likelihood of it happening.

• Yellow warnings: Are the ones you will see most often. They give you a heads up that severe weather is possible and to start planning for impacts to either travel, power or property
• Amber warnings: Mean travel disruption is more likely and there is a potential risk to life and property
• Red warnings: These are rare, and have only been issued a handful of times in recent years. They mean the Met Office believes that dangerous, potentially life-threatening weather is expected imminently and you should immediately take action to keep yourself and other safe

As we've been reporting, several Met Office weather warnings are still in place from yesterday - with some in effect until the end of the day. Here's a summary of those warnings and their end times:

• An amber warning for wind ending at 10:00 GMT today affecting County Antrim and County Londonderry in Northern Ireland
• A yellow warning for wind ending at 12:00 affecting all of Northern Ireland
• A yellow warning for rain ending at 15:00 in Central, Tayside and Fife, Grampian, and the Highlands
• An amber warning for wind ending at 21:00 is in place across most of Scotland, plus north east and west England, and Yorkshire and Humber
• A yellow warning for wind ending at 21:00 affecting Scotland, including the Orkney Islands, north east and west England, Yorkshire, northern Wales, and the East Midlands

Amber wind warnings remain in force as Storm Boelo continues to bring wet and windy weather to the UK.

The Met Office says winds peaked overnight with gusts of 60-70mph affecting some northern parts of the UK.

Gusts in some exposed coastal spots topped 80mph, with the village of Machrihanish in Argyll and Bute recording 85mph.

Four wind warnings remain in place today - two amber and two yellow - affecting most of the northern half of the UK. A yellow rain warning is still in force over parts of the Scottish Highlands.

A rain warning which stretched down to the southern part of the UK yesterday has lifted overnight.

The storm continues to disrupt transport, with Avanti West Coast advising against travelling north of Preston and LNER advising against travel between Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

Cumbria Police says it received "a number of calls overnight to localised flooding and fallen trees blocking roads".

There are also 14 active flood warnings currently in place from the Environment Agency, affecting areas such as Cumbria, Merseyside and the prime minister's constituency of Makerfield.

The second storm in two days has brought wet and windy weather to the UK, causing travel disruption and event cancellations.

Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England are bracing for the worst of Storm Boelo, with gusts of up to 80mph forecast.

Three yellow weather warnings are already in place for wind and rain, impacting areas from Scotland right down to southern England.

Another three warnings will kick in this evening from 21:00, including two more serious amber warnings for wind impacting Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England. We've got full details on those here.

Halloween events have been cancelled in Scotland and Northern Ireland, a marathon has been called off in North Wales and Knowsley Safari Park in Merseyside, north-west England, will be closed tomorrow.

National Rail has announced disruption on a number of lines, flights to and from Dublin Airport have been cancelled, and highway authorities are urging drivers to take particular care and avoid non-essential journeys.

A number of power cuts in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas have already been reported to SP Energy Networks, while power outages continue to affect large parts of south-west England following Friday's Storm Austen.

We're pausing our live coverage now, but you can read the latest in our news story.

Storm Boelo follows hot on the heels of Storm Austen, but forecasts also show the potential for yet another deep area of low pressure to arrive later on Monday and into Tuesday.

It's too early to say if this one will be named, but it looks likely to follow a similar track to Boelo, with the strongest winds focused towards the north of the UK.

A succession of storms is perhaps not as unusual as you think.

When you have a strong jet stream roaring across the Atlantic as we do right now, areas of low pressure can easily be developed and steered towards the UK in quick succession.

In February 2022 three named storms had big impacts in Northern Ireland - Eunice, Dudley and Franklin.

A fourth storm is looking unlikely though as our weather quietens down through the week.

The Arborist cafe, just outside of Truro in Cornwall, has been welcoming people who do not have power in their homes.

"We do this for the storms now, we did it in Storm Goretti," says co-owner Louise Martin.

"You can help yourself to tea and coffee, bring a book, we've got games here...and you can charge your phones and devices, and if you want, bring flasks and things to fill up with hot water."

Cafe visitor Julie Le Masurier describes it as a "brilliant surprise" and a "lovely, lovely thing to do for the community".

Her and Andrew Le Masurier say they have been without power since early Friday morning and are not expecting it to be back on until Sunday.

Storm Boelo is continuing to cause travel disruption this afternoon.

In Ireland, Dublin Airport has announced that as of 16:00, nine outbound flights and 10 inbound flights have been cancelled due to weather issues.

Meanwhile, six flights carried out a go-around procedure after being unable to land, with five landing on the second attempt, according to the airport.

It adds that the other flight was forced to divert to another airport before returning a short time later.

"Winds are forecast to remain strong for the rest of the day, which may lead to further disruption," the airport says on X, adding that passengers should travel to the airport as normal and monitor their airline for updates.
