Yellow Weather Warnings Again in Effect

Yellow weather warnings have been issued for three regions in Iceland due to harsh winter conditions expected to cause transportation disruptions.

Yellow weather warnings have been reissued as of 7 AM on March 22, 2026, for three regions in Iceland, specifically Eastern Iceland to Glettingur, East Fjords, and South-Eastern Iceland. The weather in the first two regions is characterized by 'northern and northwestern blizzards,' while the last is facing 'western and northwestern blizzards.' The warnings indicate likely disruptions in transportation across these areas. As of early Sunday morning, a deep and tight low-pressure system is located just east of the island, causing a strong north wind or storm with snowfall in the eastern part of the country. The low-pressure system is moving quickly to the northeast, leading to an improvement in weather conditions by afternoon, with significantly reduced precipitation and winds after noon. Travelers are advised to check road conditions before setting out, especially as western regions are expected to experience westerly winds and snow showers today.
