Scots are being urged to stay indoors as Storm Floris approaches. Much of Scotland will be battered by heavy rain and winds of up to 85mph, the Met Office warned as it upgraded warnings to amber. The forecaster said injuries and danger to life are expected from large waves hitting seafronts, coastal roads and properties.

A yellow weather warning issued for Scotland on Monday has been upgraded to amber for much of the country. The upgraded warning covers most of the central belt and the north of Scotland and will come into force at 10:00 on Monday, remaining in place until 22:00.
