— Met Office (@metoffice) August 3, 2025“Across the northern part of the country we could widely see gusts of 50 or 60mph inland, potentially up to 70mph at the coast. Across western and northern parts of Scotland, we could see those wind gusts intensifying further. Potentially 85mph, maybe even a little higher on Monday afternoon and evening”.
The Met Office have warned the storm could lead to some travel disruption and localised flooding if drains become blocked by leaves.
Drivers have been instructed to only drive when it is absolutely necessary and delay their journey if they expect to take an exposed route.
“Some roads and bridges may close. Road, rail, air, and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible.”

Storm Floris will follow mild conditions this afternoon elsewhere in the UK, with sunny spells expected in northern Ireland, and northern parts of England. Temperatures will peak in Hull at 25°C , with Newcastle reaching 24°C, and Birmingham at 23°C.
Conditions are expected to remain dry but cloudy in Wales and the south of England. After winds peak on Monday morning, there is expected to be some sunshine in northern Ireland and the midlands.
The stormy start to the week will clear up by Tuesday and Wednesday, the Met office said.
Droughts this summer
13.4 million homes fell within an area affected by a hosepipe ban or drought this summer after prolonged hot conditions.
It was the driest spring since 1893 across England, with the average rainfall much lower than usual.
Successive heatwaves and temperatures of over 30°C depleted reservoir stocks, meaning water firms, including Southern Water, Thames Water, and Yorkshire Water, all imposed a ban on using hosepipes.
