Met Office issues amber threat rating in Scotland with severe travel delays expected on Monday
High winds could pose a danger to life across parts of the UK on Monday, the Met Office has warned, as it upgraded the threat rating of Storm Floris from yellow to amber for Scotland.
The storm, which was officially named on Friday, is expected to hit Britain early on Monday morning. The Met Office issued warnings of potential “injuries and danger to life” as a result of “large waves and beach material being thrown on to sea fronts, coastal roads and properties” and “flying debris”.
The amber warning has been issued from 10am until 10pm on Monday, with yellow warnings still in effect in Northern Ireland and across northern England between 6am and midnight the same day.
Severe travel delays are also expected throughout the UK owing to potential debris caused by the storm.
