Storm Floris live updates: Trains cancelled and 22,000 homes without power after 90mph winds hit UK

Danger to life warnings have been issued with trains cancelled as Storm Floris continues to batter the UK with up to 90mph winds.

Passengers are facing travel chaos as trains, flights, and ferries were cancelled on Monday, with a number of “do not travel” warnings issued.

An amber wind warning has been in place since 10am across much of Scotland, and is set to last until 11pm. That is in addition to a yellow wind warning already in place across northern England.

Network Rail Scotland has posted maps showing wind speeds in excess of 90mph, and the Met Office has recorded highs of 79mph, with gusts expected to move east throughout the afternoon.

Events such as the Edinburgh Fringe are monitoring the situation, but a military parade has been cancelled, while an Oasis concert in the Scottish capital is still scheduled to go ahead.

Storm Floris, the sixth named storm of the 2024/25 season, is expected to bring “unusually strong” winds to parts of Scotland.
