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.
