Authorities in Scotland have canceled trains and closed parks as a rare summer storm brings destructive winds to northern Britain.

Rail, road and ferry travel have been disrupted and festival events cancelled as Storm Floris sweeps across Scotland, bringing with it heavy rain and gusts in excess of 100mph. Disruption on the railways has left passengers facing multiple cancellations, while a number of roads around the country have been blocked.

A powerful summer storm named Storm Floris is forecast to strike large parts of Scotland on Monday, August 4, prompting the Met Office to issue an upgraded amber warning due to the risk of damaging winds reaching up to 85mph in exposed areas.
