On February 27, 2026, motorists in Iceland are advised to exercise extreme caution due to icy road conditions prevalent in the capital area and throughout much of the country. Following a storm that affected the region overnight, the National Road Administration has issued warnings regarding slippery conditions on the roads in the capital, with snow cover and icy patches reported. Key routes, including Hellisheiði and Þrengsli, have been reopened, yet some areas remain closed due to severe weather.

In the southwestern region, hazardous conditions are noted on many roads, prompting authorities to alert drivers. Specifically, areas like Holtavörðuheiði, Fróðárheiði, and Fjarðarheiði in the east are impassable at the moment. The situation in the Westfjords is still developing, with further information awaited as conditions remain severe and expected to worsen.

Amid the adverse weather, all but one of Icelandair's fifteen passenger flights that were diverted to alternate airports due to the storm have now successfully returned to Keflavík Airport. This incident underscores the impact of the storm on travel and transport, emphasizing the need for caution and preparedness during such weather events in Iceland, highlighting the greater implications for transportation and daily commuting across the nation.
