Listen to the story

A new storm is coming to the UK. Its name is Storm Boelo. It will bring more wind and rain.

Weather experts gave an amber warning for the storm. This warning is for Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland, and northern England. An amber warning means the weather can be dangerous.

Many people do not have power right now. This is from an earlier storm. Thousands of homes still wait for their power to come back.

The new storm will bring strong wind. It will also bring heavy rain. People in these areas should be careful.

Experts tell people to check the weather forecast. They also ask people to prepare for bad weather.
