British tourists in the Czech Republic and Poland have been issued an urgent travel warning due to severe weather conditions, including heavy rain and flooding.
The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) has advised travellers to check local conditions and follow guidance from authorities before embarking on any journeys to or within affected regions.
In the Czech Republic, the FCDO stated that “heavy rain and flooding are causing severe disruption, especially in Southern and Eastern parts of the country.”
Tourists are urged to stay updated on local conditions and follow instructions from Czech authorities if in these areas.
Emergency services can be contacted by dialling 112 for assistance with medical, fire, or police emergencies.
Similarly, Britons in Poland have been advised of dangerous weather, particularly in the southwest regions of Lower Silesia, Silesian, and Opolskie Voivodeships.
Travellers should be cautious and heed warnings from Polish authorities.
Emergency services can be reached at 999 (ambulance), 998 (fire), or 997 (police).
Holidaymakers are advised to stay informed through the FCDO’s social media channels and sign up for email updates.
They should also consult their travel provider and insurance company if their travel plans are disrupted.
For urgent assistance, British tourists in the Czech Republic can contact the British Embassy in Prague, while those in Poland can reach out to the British Embassy in Warsaw.
