The Met Office issued a statement on October 23, 2026, expressing concerns about severe weather conditions due to Storm Boelo affecting events in Merseyside. A yellow weather warning was issued for Saturday and Sunday with predicted gusts of 70 to 80 mph, leading to the cancellation of several local events including the "Spooky Welly Walk" at Sefton Park on Halloween. There are now worries that the upcoming Liverpool vs Brighton football match scheduled for Anfield might be postponed due to these conditions, though as of now, the game is still set to proceed. The Met Office warned of strong winds and heavy rain spreading across northern parts of the UK, with gusts potentially reaching 70-80 mph in coastal and exposed areas, particularly affecting Scotland and the far north of England.
