UK FCDO Updates Vietnam Travel Advice: Tropical Storm Season and Middle East Disruption
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) updated its Vietnam travel advice on 21 September 2026, adding information on the tropical storm season. Vietnam's tropical storm season runs from May to November and can cause serious travel disruption; travellers are advised to monitor weather updates from the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting and the Japan Meteorological Agency and to follow local authority guidance. The advice also notes that escalation in the Middle East has caused widespread travel disruption, including airspace closures and delayed or cancelled flights, and that travel plans may be affected even when the destination is not in the Middle East.
