Storm Floris lashed the UK with powerful winds, peaking at 124mph in Cairngorm, Scotland—surpassing the earlier 122mph record. The Met Office issued amber and yellow weather warnings across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and parts of northern England. Coastal regions face danger to life and injury risks. Over 68 UK flights were cancelled, particularly from Aberdeen and Belfast City airports, as 2.2% of departures were disrupted. The storm also caused 100 Edinburgh Fringe shows to be cancelled and campervans overturned on major roads. While the storm is easing, wind warnings remain for northern Scotland, Shetland, and Orkney until Tuesday morning. (PC: X)
