There are strong indications that the poor weather forecast for the whole country is coming true, according to information from the Icelandic Meteorological Institute. The wind forecast for Reykjav\u00edk and the surrounding area is red for this evening, and significant snowfall is also expected, which could quickly make conditions impassable. The Civil Protection Service issued warnings yesterday which are still in effect, and there is every reason to heed them.<\/p>\n
In light of the poor weather forecast and advice from the civil defence that people should not be out and about after 5 p.m. today, parents are advised to collect their children from nurseries, primary schools and after-school clubs before 4 p.m. so that they are safely at home when the weather turns bad. A decision has been made to keep after-school clubs in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur closed today. Parents and guardians are urged to keep a close eye on the weather forecast today and tomorrow, as it is expected that the bad weather will continue. At the same time, residents are urged to clear snow from drains, as heavy rainfall and thawing are expected. \nDue to the forecast for bad weather and the advice from the civil defence service not to be outdoors after 5 p.m. today, we advise parents to collect their children before 4 p.m. today. We also advise parents to monitor the weather forecast for today and tomorrow morning, as the forecast also predicts poor weather conditions during this time.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n \nThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, in association with the District Commissioners in Iceland, declares a state of uncertainty due to a weather forecast from the meteorological office for a violent storm with hurricane-force winds in all areas of Iceland. A travel advisory is in effect for all areas. Travellers are advised to avoid travelling in the South of Iceland from 12:00 and in other areas from 17:00. The uncertainty phase\/level is characterised by an event which has already started and could lead to a threat to people, communities or the environment. At this stage, collaboration and coordination between the Civil Protection Authorities and stakeholders begins. Monitoring, assessment, research and evaluation of the situation is increased. The event is defined and a hazard assessment is conducted regularly.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00dea\u00f0 bendir margt til \u00feess a\u00f0 sl\u00e6m ve\u00f0ur\u00adsp\u00e1\u00ad fyrir landi\u00f0 allt gangi eft\u00adir, sam\u00adkv\u00e6mt upp\u00adl\u00fds\u00ading\u00adum fr\u00e1 Ve\u00f0ur\u00adstofu \u00cdslands.
