Much of Scotland has been placed under an amber Met Office warning for wind, which will take effect at 10am on Monday (4 August) and will remain in place until 10pm. The Met Office said disruption to road, rail, air and ferry services should be expected.


The rest of northern England – the North East, the North West and Yorkshire and Humber – as well as northern areas of Wales and all of Northern Ireland are subject to a yellow Met Office warning for wind, which came into effect at 6am on Monday as Storm Floris sweeps in from the west.
