The UK Met Office has named Storm Floris and issued yellow warnings for unseasonably strong winds from 06:00 on Monday to 06:00 on Tuesday. Forecasters expect the deep area of low pressure to cross the northern half of the country, while its southern and western flanks drive the strongest winds and heavy rain. Gusts are projected to reach 60–80 mph widely, and up to 85 mph along exposed Scottish and northern coasts. Inland areas in southern England could still see 40–45 mph winds, raising the risk of downed trees and travel disruption at a time when foliage and temporary summer structures are particularly vulnerable. Forecasters also warn of possible power outages and localised flooding from accompanying rain. Floris is the fifth named storm of the 2024–25 season and the first since Storm Éowyn in January. While summer storms are less common than their autumn-winter counterparts, the Met Office, together with Irish and Dutch weather services, decided Floris met naming criteria because of its expected impacts. The agency advises the public and transport operators to monitor updates as the system’s exact track could still shift over the weekend.
