Considerable rain and strong gale, or more than 20 m/s (medial wind more than 45 mph/72 km/h), is expected widely around Iceland tonight and over night according to a warning from The Icelandic Met Office (IMO).
The wind speed can become much stronger in bursts close to mountains in those areas, so travel conditions will be tough. Slow down and drive carefully.
