The Met Office has extended its weather warning for wind as Storm Floris is set to hit the UK this coming week.

The incoming Storm Floris has triggered the Met Office to announce an amber wind warning for Central, Tayside and Fife, Grampian, Highlands and Eilean Siar, SW Scotland, Lothian Borders and Strathclyde across the UK for Monday.

The Met Office added: "Storm Floris will bring a spell of unusually strong west or northwesterly winds to much of Scotland during Monday. "Gusts of 50 to 70mph are expected for many parts, and are likely to reach 80 to 90mph on some exposed coasts, hills and bridges.
