The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind as Britons brace for Storm Floris.
The warning covers a large part of the UK and will be in place from 6am on Monday, August 4, until 6am the following day.
The storm is likely to result in “unseasonably strong and potentially disruptive” winds, the Met Office said.
The strongest winds are likely to occur along exposed Scottish coastlines and hills, with inland gusts of 85 mph possible.
Parts of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the north of England are covered by the weather warning.
The Met Office said winds will first start to ease in the west of the UK late on Monday but will remain “very strong” overnight until early Tuesday in the east.
