Safety Alert: Severe Weather Across Iceland – Yellow Warnings Issued
A deep low-pressure system is moving across Iceland today, bringing storm-force winds and blizzard conditions. For the safety of our customers in Freyja, Frigg, Sif, and our 4×4 fleet, we recommend checking road conditions immediately and considering a “Stay-In” day if you are in high-impact zones.
🗺️ The Situation (Monday, March 23)
The Icelandic Meteorological Office has issued Yellow Warnings for most of the country. A northeast/east wind of 13-20 m/s is expected, with gusts reaching 20-25 m/s in the south.

| Southeast & Highlands | 13:00 | Storm-force winds and limited visibility. |
| Faxaflói (Reykjavik area) | 15:00 | Poor driving conditions on Reykjanesbraut. |
| North & East Iceland | Evening | Severe blizzard (blindbylur) and heavy snow. |
🚐 Advice for Camper Iceland Drivers
If you are currently on the road:
- Monitor the Wind: Our high-profile motorhomes (Freyja, Frigg, Sif, Hel) are sensitive to side winds. If gusts exceed 20 m/s, do not drive. Find a sheltered spot or a campsite and stay put.
- Reykjanesbraut (Airport Road): Visibility is expected to be very poor after noon. Allow extra time if you are returning your vehicle today.
- Check Live Maps: Use vedur.is and road.is before starting your engine.
- Heating Systems: All our campers are equipped with powerful heating. Ensure you have enough fuel/gas to stay warm if you need to wait out the storm.
Safety First: In Iceland, the weather always wins. It is better to arrive a day late than not at all.
