Met Office Updates Storm Floris Weather Warning for Merseyside - Liverpool Echo

The Met Office issued yellow and amber wind warnings on Monday as Storm Floris could reach 85mph in northern England and Scotland.
Underlying the alerts, recent climate extremes have been notable, with last month marking the UK's fifth warmest July and following the driest spring in over a century.
The latest forecast for Liverpool shows winds of up to 47mph and heavy rain from 10am until midday, while coastal Scotland could see winds reaching 80mph and 16-32 mm of rainfall per hour.
Network Rail announced route closures at 12pm on Monday, and LNER and Avanti West Coast advised against travel north of Newcastle and Preston due to Storm Floris.
Uncertainty persists in Floris’s depth and track, which could bring winds up to 85mph next week, posing a danger to life in the UK.
