London is set to bask in nearly a week of sunshine and 26C temperatures off the back of Storm Floris. The UK is forecast to be battered by 85mph winds, with a yellow weather warning being issued by the Met Office from tomorrow (Monday, August 3).
This is in place until 6am on Tuesday morning and covers the parts of the north of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and northwest Wales. There could be damage to buildings, power cuts and travel issues while the warning is in place.
While London will likely escape the worst of the storm, sitting outside of the yellow weather warning, wind gusts of around 30mph are still expected on Monday.
The Met Office said: “Storm Floris will bring further rain and some strong winds from the west on Monday [to London]. Thereafter the weather will become more settled, with some warm sunshine and lighter winds.” Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of the 2024/2025 season, following Storm Éowyn in January.
But in usual wacky UK weather style, Storm Floris is set to be followed by glorious sunshine and 26C heat for almost a week from the following Monday (August 11). The better weather will last until Friday (August 15), before some cloud starts to creep in the next day.
As we move towards the middle of the month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, The Met Office said. This is likely to lead to drier, more settled conditions becoming more widespread and above average temperatures.
