Weather tomorrow as Storm Boelo leaves two dead and 160,000 without power
Two men have been killed by falling trees as Storm Boelo batters the UK, leaving thousands without power and causing travel chaos.
The UK has took a hammering from the weather this weekend, first by Storm Austen and then Storm Boelo.
The harsh conditions have tragically, led to the deaths of two men.
Today (Sunday 25 October), a 60-year-old man was killed by a falling tree in Dumfries and Galloway Police Scotland have said.

A spokesperson said: “We were made aware of a 60-year-old man having been struck by a falling tree on a minor road at Mid Kelton near Castle Douglas around 10.30am on Sunday October 25 2026.
“The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
“There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in due course.”
The death came just hours after a man in his 20s was killed in London when a tree fell on his car, the Daily Mail reports.
A spokesperson from London Ambulance Service told the outlet: “We were called at 12.29pm on Sunday, October 25, to reports of an incident near Abercorn Road.
“We sent resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, incident response officers and paramedics from our hazardous area response team. We also dispatched a trauma team from London's Air Ambulance.
“Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a man was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Elsewhere in London, two people were rushed to hospital after scaffolding fell down due to the strong winds.
The stormy weather has also left thousands of people without power.
According to the Energy Networks Association (ENA) 161,400 properties were without power as of 3pm on Sunday afternoon.
ENA said those who had been left with electricity faced delays due to the severe weather conditions ‘limiting network engineers' opportunities to safely start the work’.
The storm also caused chaos for travel, with ferries, flights and trains all facing cancellations.
How is the weather tomorrow looking?
Looking ahead to what we can expect from the weather tomorrow, the Met Office has confirmed that all warnings will have been lifted on Monday (26 October).
However, Brits should expect ‘unsettled conditions’ throughout the week and there’s a Yellow wind weather warning in place across Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and parts of the North West and North East of England.
“Unsettled conditions are expected to continue into next week, particularly in the north, as another area of low pressure approaches the UK, bringing further wet and windy weather, with a wind warning already issued for northern parts of the UK on Tuesday,” the Met Office said.
“Further ahead, there are signs of higher pressure becoming more influential towards the end of the week, which could bring a transition towards more settled conditions for parts of the UK.”
In a national forecast for Monday, the Met Office said: “Rain sweeps northeast across the UK, with strengthening winds bringing gales in the west later. After a cold start for some, it will feel increasingly mild from the west.”
Further on from the weather tomorrow, the Met Office said Tuesday will ‘remain windy with rain in the north’, followed by sunshine and showers on Wednesday, and Thursday will bring a ‘quieter spell for many, before rain edges into the far northwest later’.
