Storm Floris winds bring widespread disruption to northern UK
The Guardian
|August 05, 2025
Gusts of more than 100mph from Storm Floris brought significant travel disruption, power cuts and the widespread cancellation of events across large parts of the UK.
Central and northern Scotland were the areas most affected yesterday, and faced the kind of problems normally seen in winter.
Met Office data showed a gust of 134mph was recorded at the summit of Cairn Gorm in the Highlands, 1,245 metres above sea level. The strongest gust away from mountains was 80mph at South Uist.
Storm Floris is the UK's sixth named storm of the 2024-25 season and the first since Storm Eowyn in January. An amber weather warning was issued across much of Scotland and police advised against unnecessary travel. The alert, which warns of there being a danger to life, was in place until last night.

Stage review Magnificent and original take on Ibsen classic
The writer-director Simon Stone is known for his rock'n'roll takes on the classics. This is a characteristically high-octane version of Ibsen's play: loud, modern and led by screen stars Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln. Yet his script, again created in the rehearsal process, retains all of Ibsen's layers and adds some of its own in the updating.
