Storm Floris: Mother Nature’s Windy Midlife Crisis Hits UK
Brace yourselves, UK! The Met Office has dropped a yellow weather warning for wind sweeping Scotland, Northern Ireland, north Wales, and northern England starting at 6am Monday. Storm Floris is poised to remind everyone who’s boss with unseasonably strong gusts up to 85mph, especially on exposed coasts and hills in Scotland. As the office crisply warns, 'The strongest winds are expected during the afternoon and night.' So if you wanted a casual Monday, think again—Florist 1, Commuters 0.

Storm Floris is basically the UK’s version of a toddler throwing a tantrum: loud, unpredictable, and knocking over everything in its path. Grab your hats, or better yet, duct tape them to your heads.
Yellow warning for winds? Oh great, just what the UK needed: Mother Nature’s hairdryer set to 'hurricane'.
When Storm Floris hits 85mph gusts, it’s less ‘windy day’ and more ‘nature’s way of airing out your laundry, whether you like it or not.’
