Fresh travel warning issued to all Brits planning holidays abroad this summer

The UK Foreign Office has issued fresh travel guidance to Britons planning holidays abroad this summer, warning about higher UV levels and temperatures. In a post on X, the FCDO Travel Advice page urged travelers to be prepared for hotter conditions, noting that insufficient sun protection can contribute to problems ranging from heatstroke to skin cancer. The warning follows updated advice after Europe’s recent heatwave, including reports that France reached its hottest day on record with temperatures above 40C in some areas, and Italy declared red heatwave alerts in 15 cities. For Spain and France, and also Italy, the FCDO advises monitoring local updates and weather guidance. The article also explains the UV index scale from 0 to 11+ and lists corresponding protection levels.
