Cold Arctic Air Continues to Directly Impact the Country
Iceland is experiencing cold Arctic air, with temperatures dropping between three to five degrees Celsius across the country.
Iceland is currently under the influence of cold Arctic air, which is being directed to the country due to a high-pressure system over Greenland and a low-pressure area near Norway. As a result, the prevailing wind direction is either northerly or variable, but winds are expected to be relatively calm today. According to the Meteorological Office, there will be intermittent snow showers in the northern regions and along the southeast coast throughout the day, while the southwest will see mostly clear skies.
Temperatures are forecasted to fall within the range of three to five degrees Celsius, with the coldest readings occurring inland. Looking ahead to tomorrow, a southeast wind is expected to develop, typically ranging from 5 to 13 m/s, although it will remain calm in the northeastern parts of the country. This southeast wind will bring some light snow showers in the southeast and east, while other regions are likely to remain mostly dry.
The cold weather is expected to persist, although there will be a gradual reduction in frost levels in the southern parts of the island. Later on, strong winds are anticipated to develop in the southernmost regions, which could bring gusty conditions ahead of midday on Sunday, while other areas are expected to see dry weather.
