Northwest winds  of 10-18 m/sec are expected from Húsavík in the northeast and  all along the east coast of Iceland today, with wind gusts in excess of 25 m/sec in the northeast corner, in the East Fjords and south of Vatnajökull glacier. Heavy rain can also be expected in the northeast today. The Icelandic Met Office warns that this will create hazardous driving conditions for buses, campers and vehicles with trailers. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution.

Calmer winds are forecast in the south and west parts of the country with partly cloudy or (long-awaited) sunny skies. Temperatures will range from 4 to 19 degrees C, the southeast being the warmest.
