What tourists need to know about the Lanzarote floods
Heavy rainfall and flooding caused by Storm Olivier have impacted Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, particularly the towns of Costa Teguise, San Bartolomé, and Arrecife.
Though some hotels experienced power outages and roads were affected by mud, Lanzarote Airport is operating normally.
The UK Foreign Office has not advised against travel to Lanzarote, but recommends monitoring local weather updates and following local authority advice.
The state of emergency declared in Lanzarote has been lifted, and no injuries have been reported.
Cancellations and refunds for pre-booked trips are dependent on individual holiday providers and insurance policies, as the Foreign Office has not issued a travel warning.

Charter flights announced for British nationals stranded in Israel
British nationals stranded in Israel are set to be flown home via charter flights organised by the Foreign Office. Israeli airspace has been closed since last week amid spiralling conflict with Iran. The flights will depart from Tel Aviv airport once Israeli airspace reopens, with the number of flights based on demand. British nationals in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories are advised to register their presence to receive further guidance on the flights. Land routes out of Israel remain open, and UK staff are available to support British nationals who have crossed the border, including providing transport to nearby airports.

UK readying charter flights to rescue trapped Brits from Israel as Iranian missiles fall & US weighs strikes

British authorities are scrambling to arrange the planes after they were accused of abandoning Britons stuck out there. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The Foreign Office, led by David Lammy, is finally organising to fetch Brits stuck in Israel Credit: Alamy 2 Brits are to be flown out of Tel Aviv Credit: AFP The UK and Israeli governments are now working together to get Brits out, with No 10 saying the "fast-moving" situation would be closely monitored. David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, said: 'As part of our efforts to support British nationals in the Middle East, the government is working with the Israeli authorities to provide charter flights from Tel Aviv airport when airspace reopens, based on levels of demand from British nationals." Brits in Israel were urged to register their presence with the authorities and told they would be contacted with further guidance. The Foreign Office was accused of refusing to draw up evacuation plans. They apparently told those trying to flee they should take a risky bus journey to Egypt or Jordan. There was anger that the families of diplomats working at the Embassy in Tel Aviv had been fetched, but most people offered nothing. There are up to 60,000 British citizens who live in Israel, and more are likely to have been visiting as the air battle with Iran began. A Downing Street spokesman said: "We are advising British nationals to continue to register their presence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, to be contactable with further guidance on these flights."
