The Icelandic Road Administration has issued a warning about expected challenging driving conditions in the upper regions of the capital area. According to a statement released today, significant snowfall is anticipated in the southwestern corner of the country, particularly affecting higher altitudes in the capital area. The agency noted that conditions may not be as severe as they were in October but still alert drivers to remain cautious.

Forecasts suggest that the most problematic areas will include the Reykjanesbraut road and the highlands between Reykjavik and Hellisheiði, with poor visibility expected between 14:00 and 19:00 tomorrow. The uncertainty regarding the precise locations of heaviest snowfall means that drivers should stay informed and prepared for sudden changes in weather conditions.

This warning comes at a time when traffic safety is a critical concern for local authorities. The Road Administration encourages all motorists to exercise extreme caution and to be aware of potential delays and hazards due to the anticipated weather. As winter continues, such advisories are a reminder of the additional complications that snow can bring to everyday travel in Iceland's capital region.
