River water levels are expected to rise and localized flooding is possible. Rainy weather and strong winds also increase the risk of falling rocks and landslides in the area. A yellow weather warning has been issued for the region.
Rainy weather, high winds and low temperatures in North Iceland today make outdoor activities such as hiking not recommended. Travelers in the region can monitor weather conditions at the Icelandic Meteorological Agency website and road conditions at road.is.
