How to manage your holiday if your destination is experiencing a heatwave
By Graeme Baker, Megan Fisher and Michelle RobertsAs Italy, Spain and Greece are facing many more days of extreme heat, here's what you need to know if you're booked on a holiday in a heatwave.If you're worried, you should check Foreign Office advice before travelling and ensure everyone travelling is covered by your insurance. Currently, there are no Foreign Office travel warnings related to the weather.
However, getting money back if you cancel before departure would depend heavily on your insurance, and your own personal circumstances. Policies do not cover a "disinclination to travel", Mr James said, unless there is a valid or official reason. Mr James added: "It would be much more preferable to the insurer to cover the cost of a holiday, rather than pay huge hospital bills should you fall ill once you travel.
Mr James said there are some possible solutions. Package holidays may give you the option to move the dates, possibly for a fee, or even transfer them into someone else's name. Perhaps there is an option to move the holiday over to next year, although he noted that the effects of the pandemic on travel had made these types of options far more strict.
Use sunscreen with a high SPF and UVA rating, seek out shade when and where you can, and take advantage of places with air-conditioning. Carrying a handheld fan and a water spray can provide some relief too.
