Iceland

Warnings have been issued for severe weather conditions in various regions of Iceland. Yellow alerts are currently active in the Southeast due to strong winds, while the Northeast is facing heavy rainfall. Authorities are especially cautioning residents around Eyjafjörður and Flateyjarskagi about significant rain, which could lead to rising water levels in rivers and streams. This situation increases the risk of mudslides and rockfalls.

This evening and overnight, additional warnings will extend from Breiðafjörður across the Westfjords and into North-West Iceland, also pertaining to strong winds and rain. Travelers are particularly advised to avoid steep mountain slopes during this time.

Weather alerts have been issued for today and tomorrow.
