Tropical Cyclone Freddy forced the closure of Mauritius’s international airport on Monday morning (20 February) as it swept across the Indian Ocean.
Air Mauritius has cancelled at least 18 flights, including a number of services due to have flown between the island and Heathrow from Sunday through to Tuesday.
Tropical cyclone Freddy triggered a warning class III on the Indian Ocean island, with weather conditions expected to deteriorate further on Monday afternoon (20 February).
In an updated statement, the UK Foreign Office said: "You should remain vigilant and follow the advice of local authorities.
"Cyclones can cause extensive damage to property. There is a well-structured system of phased warnings. During a cyclone you are not allowed to leave your accommodation and car insurance policies often cease to be valid."
