***Storm Austen***
#StormAusten has weakened further and will be soon absorbed by Storm Boelo. There will still be some storm-force gusts on the western coast of Denmark and northwestern coast of Germany in the next few hours, but it should not be too disruptive. This is the final warning from OESMC on the system.
***Storm Boelo***
#StormBoelo has rapidly intensified into a Category 3 Extratropical Cyclone and will bring high winds into Scotland and northern parts of Ireland from tonight to tomorrow noontime. The track of the storm has been more southerly than expected, meaning a direct landfall on Great Britain more likely, and hence the probability that the previous October pressure record in the UK being broken also increases. Regardless of its exact path, gusts of 60~70kt will be experienced by most coastal areas of Scotland and Northern Ireland, with highest recorded gusts possibly reaching 85kt. Meanwhile, the windward side of Great Britain will also see rainfall accumulation of around 50mm in the next 24 hours. It is strongly advised that residents in Ireland, UK and all other North Sea countries to follow further instructions from national or local weather services.
***
Near the northwestern coast of Scotland: An area of low pressure will absorb the remenants of Ex-Josephine tomorrow and undergo explosive cyclogenesis through Monday. Impacts from this system will be at an euqal or slightly lower level compared with that of Boelo, with sidespread gusts of 55-70kt and local maxima exceeding 80kt, and it will drop another 50mm of rainfall on the top of what has fallen during Boelo. The system has a 60% chance of being named by the Western Group in the next 0-5 days.
