Exact hour Storm Floris will hit UK with 85mph winds as ‘danger to life' warning blankets half of nation
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STORM Floris is expected to hit the UK in just days with forecasters issuing a 'danger to life' warning for many parts of the nation. Britain will be battered by "unseasonably strong winds" of up to 85mph, says the Met Office. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The UK is preparing for strong winds and heavy rain Credit: LNP 4 The warning will be in place from Monday morning through to Tuesday Credit: Metoffice The yellow wind warnings will be in place from 6am on Monday morning. As well as strong gusts, torrential rain is also expected to fall across huge sections of the country. Scottish coastlines and high ground may even see wind gusts of up to 85mph. A yellow wind warning has been issued for Scotland, Northern England, Northern Ireland, and north Wales on Monday. The warning is expected to stay in force until 6am on Tuesday. "Injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties," said the weather agency. Brits have also been warned of property damage such as "tiles blown from roofs" and risk of injury from "flying debris". "Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage," the warning added. Disruption to public transport services and delays on the roads are also predicted. The strong winds will first begin to ease in the west on late Monday, but remain very strong until early Tuesday in the east. Ireland set for major weather shakeup over Bank Holiday as storm to bring 'unseasonably' high winds & potential warnings Matthew Lehnert, a Met Office Chief Meteorologist, said: 'Across the warning area, many inland areas are likely to see gusts of 40-50mph, with 60-70mph more likely at higher elevations and around exposed coasts in Scotland. "There is a small chance that some locations here could even record gusts of 85mph.' A spokesperson for the weather agency added on X: "Storm Floris has been named. "Unseasonably strong winds, gales in the north, locally severe and accompanied by heavy rain. Disruption possible." RAC breakdown service's Rod Dennis said: 'This unseasonable bout of stormy weather will mean drivers in the north and west of the UK need to take extra care at the start of next week. 'It's the height of the holiday season, so those towing trailers and caravans, as well as those with roof and tent boxes, must ensure their loads are properly secured.' He advised motorists driver slower in poor conditions and leave later if the weather is too bad. The expert also urged drivers to avoid exposed highland and coastal routes. Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of this Storm Naming season. It comes after Storm Éowyn which hit in late January and sparked several weather warnings. Gusts of 100mph were recorded at Drumalbin in Scotland, the Met Office said. 4 Most of the country will be affected by the brutal weather 4 The weather is unseasonable for this time of year Credit: LNP

CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort, Amanda Thompson OBE said: "It's important to us that guests have the best time when visiting, and while technically speaking the rain doesn't affect our rides, we wouldn't want the wet weather to dampen anyone's day. "We truly believe that you can have a great time at Pleasure Beach come rain or shine, but we know that everything is extra special when the weather is on side." If a guest wants to use a rainy day return, they should arrive at the same ticket centre on the day of their return visit and display their eTickets, paper tickets or confirmation email to staff. The new option can also be used seven days of the week.

These events can be more dangerous, however, as trees are still in leaf and many people are still camping or hillwalking in the open. Ahead of Storm Floris, the weekend will bring a mix of sunshine and showers.
