It feels indeed a little bit like Groundhog Day, but today yet another blizzard will plough over Iceland and that means that the Icelandic Met Office (IMO) has issued a warning.
The wind will pick up the pace in the southwest parts of the country around noon and the weather will remain very bad into the evening and in East Iceland tonight. We can expect critical conditions on all main roads leading to the capital with mountain passes almost sure to be closed.
Here is IMO’s forecast:
Increasing southeast wind 18 to 25 m/s (65-90 km/h, 40-26 mph) in the afternoon with strong gusts by mountains in the south and west but lighter wind in the northeast until evening. Snow at first but later sleet or rain. Considerable precipitation in the south part and becoming warmer for a while but mainly dry in the northeast. Turns to south wind with sleet showers in the west tomorrow evening and becomes colder again.
