shows the direction of the wind, which blows toward the point of the barb. Wind-speed is symbolized by diagonal lines at the end of the barb; for instance, a short line represents 2.5 m/s, a long line 5 m/s and a triangle represents 25 m/s.
Mean sea level pressure is shown in solid lines, the contour interval is 2 hPa.

been manually revised so far are shown as red dots. The M5.5 mainshock is located on a north-south striking left lateral strike-slip fault, see black lines in the map. The M4.7 event around 9 am was located on a normal fault to the north-west.
This cluster at about 7.5 km distance to the main cluster was most likely activated due to static stress changes induced by the M5.5 earthquake

Earthquakes with magnitude larger than 4 are shown as black stars and the white
star indicates the location of the M5.2 earthquake.
The beachball (black/white ball) shows its focal mechanism, normal faulting.
Grey dots show seismicity over the period 1994-2017. The brown lines show
the Húsavík fault on-land and the black arrows

Wind-speed is symbolised by diagonal lines at the end of the barb; a long line represents 5 m/s, a short line 2.5 m/s and a triangle represents 25 m/s.
Temperature forecast:
Temperature levels are shown over the Atlantic Ocean in degrees Celsius (°C) at an altitude of about 1,500 m above the ocean surface. This altitude equates to an air pressure of 850 hPa
