Yellow landslide warning for eastern part of the country on Wednesday 14th of October
12.10.2026 | 13:24
Recent weeks have been relatively wet across much of Iceland. Significant precipitation fell at the beginning of the week as weather fronts moved across southern and eastern parts of the country. All of the precipitation fell as rain and, although it did not last long, rainfall intensity was considerable. As a result, soils on slopes are widely saturated or waterlogged and therefore sensitive to additional rainfall.
Attention
Landslide Watch
Significant short-duration rainfall expected in Southern and Eastern part tonight
11.10.2026 | 13:18
Late this evening, 11 October, a frontal system will move into southern Iceland. Brief periods of significant rainfall are expected in Southeast and East Iceland. The front is forecast to have passed by midday tomorrow. While the front is moving across the country, slope movements such as rockfalls and small landslides cannot be ruled out.
Landslide Watch
Yellow landslide warning in the East fjords
07.10.2026 | 11:30
There is an increased risk of rockfalls and minor landslides in the Eastfjords as a weather front moves across the country on Thursday and Friday. Precipitation is expected to decrease and temperatures to drop slightly late Friday, reducing the risk of landslides.
