A significant low-pressure system approaching Iceland is now forecast to reach its greatest intensity on Thursday afternoon, rather than Friday morning as previously thought. This update was provided by meteorologist Einar Sveinbjörnsson, according to reports from Vísir and mbl.is.
Sveinbjörnsson, who shared his insights on the weather-analysis site Blika.is, noted two changes in the forecasts and emphasised that storms often arrive earlier than initial forecasts predict. “Storms often arrive earlier than initial forecasts predict,” Sveinbjörnsson said. (Translated from Icelandic.)
Icelandic news outlet mbl.is highlighted that very strong winds are expected across much of the country on Thursday as the storm makes landfall.
