The Met Office have named a new storm, Boelo, which is set to bring another round of stormy weather to the UK over the weekend.

Storm Austen is expected to bring strong winds to south-west England during Friday morning.

The Met Office has issued an amber wind warning for Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, Plymouth and parts of Devon valid between 1am and 10am on Friday.

Gusts of wind will widely reach 60-70mph, and perhaps 80mph in exposed locations.
（暂无翻译）
Winds of this strength will blow some trees over, bringing a significant risk of transport disruption and there may also be some power cuts.
（暂无翻译）
Some buildings could potentially be damaged by the strongest winds, leading to a risk of flying debris at the height of the storm.
（暂无翻译）
Yellow wind warnings cover most of England and Wales with gusts of wind on Friday forecast to reach 45-60mph, with 70mph gusts likely in some places.
（暂无翻译）
As strong as these winds are, the most damaging winds will run to the south of the low pressure centre.
（暂无翻译）
That puts north-west France firmly in the firing line and parts of Brittany could see gusts close to 90mph.
（暂无翻译）
The Channel Islands are also expecting severe gales with gusts up to 80mph.

All schools have been told to close on Friday because of the high winds predicted to be caused by Storm Austen, the Government of Jersey has said.

（暂无翻译）
Following recent spells of wet weather, there is an additional risk of some localised flooding. Yellow wind warnings have been issued ahead of Storm Boelo's arrival over the weekend It's not unusual to get storms so close together, in fact they quite often arrive in clusters.

A strong jet stream is needed to rapidly develop powerful wind storms.
（暂无翻译）
The process involved in creating such storms involves shifting warmer air northwards and cooler air southwards across vast areas of the Atlantic.
（暂无翻译）
These temperature contrasts can provide a fertile environment for new low pressure systems to develop and if these subsequently get steered beneath a developmental area of a powerful jet stream, they can rapidly develop to create a new named storm with damaging winds.

What you need to know The winter months of December, January and February typically produce the highest number of UK storms Although named storms can affect the UK at any time of the year, analysis shows they are much less common in spring and early summer.
（暂无翻译）
The only month with no named storms in the eleven years that we've been naming storms in the UK, is May. The chances of seeing a storm increases from late summer and throughout autumn with the peak of the season arriving in our winter months.

This increase in storminess is why the storm-naming season begins in September each year.

In about half of the years since 2015, the first storm arrived after 1 November.
