Storm Floris: Pictures from around the UK

Around 50,000 people are without power across Scotland as a result of Storm Floris.

Travel disruption is also expected to continue on Tuesday as the clear-up continues after the amber weather alert, which also hit parts of England, Northern Ireland and Wales.

While the worst of the weather has now passed, a yellow warning for wind remains in place for the Orkney and Shetland islands.

Take a look at some of the pictures of the storm from across the country.

Storm Floris hit many parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland. It was the sixth storm of the season, and the first to hit the UK and Ireland since Storm Éowyn in January

It was a similar story in Blackpool, with families battling against the wind. Weather experts have warned that more wet and windy weather is on the way later this week for those in north-western parts of the UK

Storm Floris brought heavy rain and high winds, with gusts of up to 90mph recorded in some places. The Met Office said summer storms caused problems as trees were in full leaf and were more likely to be toppled with branches broken off. Here, workers can be seen cutting up a tree which was blown down by the wind in Northumberland

Cancelled trains and flights yesterday caused widespread travel disruption across the UK. Network Rail said teams had been working "tirelessly" to clear routes with 119 incidents reported on train lines across Scotland

Visitors to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which is currently underway, saw many performances cancelled. Other attractions in the city including Edinburgh Castle were closed, with major events such as the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo also cancelled because of the windy weather

Tuesday is forecast to be a much calmer day as Storm Floris moves from the UK towards Scandinavia
