Experts have warned Brits to keep their doors shut as Storm Floris is set to batter the country with winds of up to 90mph.

A yellow weather warning for wind has been issued for northern areas of the UK from 6am today until 6am tomorrow.

The warnings have been upgraded to amber for much of Scotland, lasting from 10am to 10pm.

It is the sixth named storm of the 2024-25 season, following Storm Eowyn in January and is expected to cause severe travel disruption.

Train operator LNER has told passengers not to travel north of Newcastle while Avanti West Coast has advised passengers not to travel north of Preston, warning it will be 'heavily impacted' by the weather.
