The latest named storm of 2025 in the UK will bring “unusually windy weather” for this time of year, the forecasters said.
Many inland parts of the warning area will see westerly gusts of 40 to 50 mph and exposed coasts and high ground could see them reach 70 mph.
There is a chance that winds could reach 85 mph on Scottish coastlines and hills.
The strongest winds will most likely affect Scotland on Monday afternoon and night but “there remains some uncertainty in the depth and track of Floris”, the Met Office said.
It added: “Winds will first ease in the west during later Monday but remaining very strong overnight until early Tuesday in the east.
“Heavy rain may also contribute to the disruption in places.”
The warning zone covers Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland, north Wales and the north of England.
