The Icelandic Met Office has issued a weather warning for the South Iceland, West Iceland and the central highlands. Strong gales are expected by the south and west coasts and in the highlands until late night.
Be very careful if you are travelleing along the south coast. The wind will exceed 20 m/s (45 mph/ 72 km/h) in the area and that usually means much stronger bursts close to Eyjafjöll mountain range, which is one of Iceland's most notoriously windy places.
Keep an eye out for the waterfall Rjúkandi, which is located in the Eyjafjöll moantain range close to highway Route One, and regularly defies gravity for fun on windy days by running upside down.
Below is a great video showing the waterfall in such anti-gravity mode. It was captured by tour guide Börkur Hrólfsson on a fiercely windy day, just as is expected in the area today.
