Storm Floris has been named by the Met Office and is set to bring unseasonably strong winds to the UK on Monday.
Gusts of up to 85mph are possible along exposed coasts and hills inScotland, while other areas in the north and west may see winds of up to 70 mph on the coast and 50-60 mph inland.
A yellow weather warning for wind is in place in Scotland, Northern Ireland, north Wales and the north of England from 6am on Monday to 6am on Tuesday.
In other parts of England and Wales it will still feel particularly windy, but less severe.
