The UK is bracing for another bout of turbulent weather as Storm Floris approaches, with the Met Office issuing a yellow warning for strong winds expected to hit on Monday.
Forecasters predict gusts of up to 60-70 mph in exposed coastal areas, with inland regions seeing winds of 50-60 mph. The storm could bring travel chaos, including delays to road, rail, and air services, as well as possible power cuts.
What to Expect
The worst of the winds are expected to sweep across:
- Northern Ireland
- Scotland
- Northern England
- Parts of Wales
Coastal regions are particularly at risk, with large waves likely to cause hazardous conditions.
Safety Advice
The Met Office has urged the public to:
- Secure loose outdoor items to prevent damage.
- Check for updates on travel services before setting out.
- Be cautious near coastal areas due to high waves.
- Prepare for possible power disruptions.
This follows a summer of unsettled weather, with Storm Floris being the latest in a series of low-pressure systems affecting the UK.
