A s Storm Floris continues to hit, the Met Office has warned it is likely to bring a spell of unseasonably strong and potentially disruptive winds across Northern Ireland. The yellow warning hit the north from 6am on Monday, bringing gale force winds, while there are weather alerts throughout much of the UK.

Storm Floris disruption is expected to continue on Tuesday as the clear up continues after the amber weather alert. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said it was continuing to restore supplies after about 50,000 homes were left without power.

An amber storm warning, covering much of mainland Scotland and the western islands, is now in force until 22:00.
