Storm Floris has been named by the Met Office and will hit the UK on Monday, bringing strong winds and heavy rain. It is the sixth named storm this season and the first since January.

Northern areas of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are set to be the worst hit areas, according to the Met Office, with a yellow warning in place.

Storm Floris will batter the UK with unseasonably strong winds and heavy downpours next week, the Met Office has warned. The strongest winds are most likely across Scotland during Monday afternoon and night, with gusts of up to 85mph possible along exposed coasts and hills.
