The east and west have long been subject to very different weather patterns, and this weekend is a clear example of that. Conditions on one side can be almost unrecognisable compared to the other, sometimes within a few hours’ drive.

Technical storage is also used to save preferences that you haven’t explicitly set yourself but that help the site work better for you.

Statistics

We use technical storage and access for statistical purposes only. Any data collected this way is anonymous — it can’t identify you without extra information from your internet service provider or another third party.

Marketing

Some technical tools are used to build user profiles for targeted ads, track users across sites, and support marketing activity.

Whether you’re planning a drive through the highlands or a quieter weekend on the coast, keeping an eye on the regional forecast really does make a difference here. Iceland’s weather doesn’t do uniform.
