US EditionStorm Floris Predicted to Be Exceptionally Strong
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL, AUG 1 – Temperatures in Spain and Portugal may reach 42C, raising wildfire and health risks, while Storm Floris brings strong winds and heavy rain to northern UK and Ireland, officials said.
- Met Éireann and the UK Met Office released warnings on Saturday as Storm Floris approaches, forecasted to produce rainy conditions and stronger-than-usual winds from Sunday evening through Bank Holiday Monday.
- The warnings followed forecasts encompassing the storm within high-resolution DINI models and reflected concerns over increased exposure due to many outdoor events and camping during the public holiday weekend.
- Storm Floris will particularly affect northwestern Ireland and the UK with strong westerly winds, heavy rain, risks of fallen trees, power outages, wave overtopping in low-lying coastal areas, and localised flooding from leaves.
- The UK Met Office has placed a Status Yellow alert in effect from 6am Monday until 6am Tuesday, forecasting winds reaching 140 km/h along the Scottish coastline and daytime temperatures ranging between 16°C and 21°C.
- After the storm, forecasts suggest easing winds and a shift toward drier, warmer, and more settled weather for mid-August, though some uncertainty remains about Storm Floris’s full impacts.
