00:00Good evening. Welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. Storm Floris is

00:05on the way with an amber weather warning issued for unseasonably strong winds across the northern

00:10half of the country. It's picked up by this very active jet stream through Sunday night

00:15and into the start of Monday, where it undergoes rapid deepening. It's that squeeze in the

00:19isobars on the southern flank of the low that indicates those strongest winds throughout

00:23much of Monday. It then eventually moves its way northeastwards into parts of Scandinavia

00:28with an air of high pressure building out eventually across the southwest. But still

00:32seeing those tightly packed isobars on Tuesday, indicating another fairly windy day, though

00:37not quite as windy as Monday. So let's take a closer look at those wind speeds in more detail.

00:43Those winds picking up as we go through Monday morning. We'll see the first peak of the winds

00:47across western parts of Scotland during the morning. We could see gusts here of 80, 85,

00:52potentially even 90 miles an hour. And even further south, across northern parts of England

00:56and Northern Ireland, we could see gusts up to 70 miles an hour at the coasts.

01:00As it's a bank holiday in Scotland, that's likely to lead to some impacts, lots of people

01:04out and about and travelling, as well as some trees in full leaf that could lead to some

01:08localised flooding due to blocked drains. We then see the second peak of winds across the

01:13north coast of Aberdeenshire as we go through Monday afternoon and evening, where once again,

01:17we could see wind gusts up to 80, 85, potentially even 90 miles an hour. So some further impacts

01:23are likely here. The winds will gradually start to ease as we go into Tuesday morning, but

01:28it will still be a windy start to the day on Tuesday.

01:32Back to the rest of Sunday, though. And any rain that we've seen across the south of the

01:36country eventually pushes offshore, leaving generally a dry and clear start to the evening

01:40for many of us. But it's all eyes out towards the northwest as we see storm florists arriving,

01:46bringing some really quite heavy rainfall to parts of Northern Ireland and then later into

01:50western parts of Scotland, into the early hours of Monday morning. It will generally stay

01:55a little bit drier further south, but there'll still be quite a lot of cloud around and that

01:59leads to quite a mild night across the board. Temperatures in the low or mid-teens for most

02:03of us and perhaps feeling quite humid in places too.

02:08So it's going to be a very wet and quite windy start to the day on Monday morning across the

02:12north. Those winds quickly picking up across western parts of Scotland. We'll see that peak in

02:18those wind speeds of 80, 85, potentially 90 miles an hour, with that amber weather warning

02:22coming into force at 10 a.m. The weather front associated with the storm eventually pushes

02:27its way south and eastwards, so almost anywhere we'll see a brief spell of some heavy rain.

02:31But it's across the northwest that we continue to see outbreaks of heavy rain as we go in towards

02:36the afternoon. Those winds continue to pick up across the north coast of Aberdeenshire,

02:41where once again we could see gusts of 80, 85, potentially 90 miles an hour. And it will still

02:46be a windy day across the southern half of the country, though not quite as windy as

02:50further north. Despite any sunshine that we might see through the afternoon and temperatures

02:55being a little above average across the south, it will definitely be feeling cooler than it

02:59has done recently and feeling really quite unpleasant across much of Scotland and northern England,

03:04Northern Ireland too. Potentially feeling just a little milder and perhaps a little muggy

03:09as well, a little humid across the very far southeast if you're stuck underneath that cloud and rain.

03:14That cloud and rain that we do see across the very far southeast eventually pushes its way

03:18offshore, so some late sunshine for much of England and Wales. Heavy rain and blustery showers do

03:24continue across much of Scotland as those winds gradually start to ease through Monday evening

03:29and later into the early hours of Tuesday morning. But plenty of blustery showers still feeding in on

03:34that very brisk northwesterly wind. Some of these could be heavy, perhaps even the odd rumble of thunder

03:39possible mixed in there. With that very brisk northwesterly wind, it means it's quite a bit

03:44fresher overnight Monday into the start of Tuesday. Towns and cities holding up into the double figures,

03:50but some rural spots could be dropping a little lower than that. So a bit of a fresher start to the

03:54day on Tuesday compared to Monday morning. A bright start as well for much of England and Wales. Plenty of

04:00sunshine on offer, the best of any prolonged sunshine likely here throughout the afternoon.

04:05But plenty of blustery showers still feeding in on that very brisk northwesterly wind across

04:10much of northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland too. And once again, these could be heavy

04:14with some hail and thunder mixed in. With that northwesterly wind, temperatures will be much

04:19closer to average on Tuesday, so feeling quite fresh if you are in that breeze. But further south,

04:24where you do see that sunshine, it will still be feeling pleasantly warm with highs of 22 or 23 degrees.
