Storm Floris live weather updates as 'do not travel' advice issued and 'danger to life' warning in place

Storm Floris has arrived in Wales with winds of up to 55mph expected to batter parts of the Welsh coast. Scotland is set to face the worst of the storm, where gusts of more than 85mph could be seen.

The Met Office has upgraded Scotland’s wind warning to "amber" status, while a yellow weather warning is in force across parts of Wales.

North Wales is set to be affected by strong winds, with the forecast agency advising people living in Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, and Isle of Anglesey to secure their properties, and prepare for power cuts.

Weather maps show bands of heavy rain across much of Wales on Monday morning.

The forecast says: "Storm Floris will bring a spell of unusually windy weather for the time of year across the northern half of the UK on Monday". Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of the 2024-25 naming season, which runs from early September to late August, and January's Storm Eowyn was the most recent.

Natural Resources Wales is warning people to check before visiting its sites in case they have been closed. Motorists are being warned to watch out for fallen debris, while unexpected gusts may destabilise vehicles on exposed routes.
