Episode 44: Icelandic Adventures in Weather and Emergency Management
Important Travel Information When Visiting Iceland
https://safetravel.is/
Iceland's Safe Travel Website provides information on weather alerts and gives visitors an opportunity to submit their travel plans to authorities. In an unfortunate situation where you may be stranded or injured, Iceland's safety officials can attempt to locate you based on your pre-submitted travel plans. http://www.road.is/ Iceland's Road Website gives visitors and locals the ability to track roadway conditions throughout the entire country. It is very important to check this website out every time prior to driving. The weather in Iceland changes quickly, and road conditions can rapidly deteriorate. http://en.vedur.is/ Iceland has a top-notch weather service. Forecasts tend to be quite accurate 1-2 days out. I highly recommend checking the weather every night before you go to bed and in the morning when you awake, just to have the most updated forecast. You should pay close attention to precipitation and wind, which will likely be the most impactful to you. You can also check temperatures and expected cloud cover. Additionally, the weather service in Iceland tracks the aurora borealis, so in the winter months, this certainly comes in handy. |
