Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall in the coming days
UK holidaymakers in the USA have been warned of “life-threatening” weather conditions as Hurricane Milton closes in Florida. The UK Foreign Office has issued an official warning as the storm is expected to make landfall as soon as October 9.
Evacuation orders have been issued across the Tampa Bay region as scientists predict storm surges of up to 12 feet in the area. The storm has made its way across the Gulf of Mexico, and although it has been weakened from a Category 5 storm to a Category 4 hurricane, the National Hurricane Center warned that it still posed an “extremely serious threat”.
The UK Foreign Office, Development and Commonwealth Office has warned British travellers in the region to closely monitor updates and follow any instructions, including evacuation orders. In an update on its travel page for the USA release on Tuesday morning, the FCO said: “Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall on the west coast of Florida on the night of 9 October or morning of 10 October with tropical force winds affecting the west coast from the morning of 9 October.
The White House has also issued guidance to residents on Florida’s west coast, which includes following advice from state officials, making sure vehicles have sufficient fuel and not to walk, swim or drive through flood waters.
