A warning against all but essential travel to a country loved by British tourists has been issued by the UK’s Foreign Office due to the impending threat of a major cyclone.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) issued the important advice on Tuesday (18 June), with it still active a day later and no sign of it being lifted any time soon.
As per daily checks, officials from the government department update UK travel guidance for countries across the world to give UK travellers the most up to date information available on visiting every country on the planet.
That includes giving important advice on warnings and insurance issues you might encounter to basic entry requirements so you’re not turned away at passport control.
The latest information on security, health and safety risks can also be found alongside any regional risks inside the country you’re heading too.
And should you get in trouble, you can find help pages on who to contact in case of emergency whether that by local police, paramedics, fire departments or insurance issues.

In the latest advice, the Foreign Office send countless holidays in to disarray after issuing the warning for Mexico.
With eight regions of the country falling under the new travel advice, it is certain to have disrupted a whole load of travellers.
But it is for good reason, with Mexico at major risk of being hit by a tropical cyclone with winds of up to 74mph and torrential rain. Up to 150 millimeters of rain will fall across the country.
And the Foreign Office warns that if you still travel, you could be in a lot of financial trouble should you get in to dire straits.

“Your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office,” it says.
The US state of Mexico is also set to be hit by the massive pour down, with the National Hurricane Center noting a ‘tropical disturbance’ in the south-west Gulf of Mexico.
It now has a 60 per cent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone during the next week.
