Remarks of a specialist

Along with increasing temperatures in the eastern part of the country, water levels can be expected to rise in glacial rivers due to melting for the coming days. Additionally, increased water levels in rivers in the western part of the country can also be expected due to precipitation.

Due to malfunction we have turned off the service publishing hydrological data on the map. Instead see the data using our Rauntímavöktunarkerfi.
