The bad weather will make for hazardous driving conditions and people should avoid travelling while the storm batters those parts of the country. It will be especially windy in Skagafjörður fjord, at Tröllaskagi peninsula and Eyjafjörður fjord in North Iceland early in the morning tomorrow.
You can follow road conditions around Iceland live via the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration’s (IRCA) web cams.
