A great storm passed over Iceland on Friday night, October 9th, lasting well into Saturday morning.
Wind speeds measuring 20 m/s and higher were recorded at half of the automatic weather stations in the lowland areas and similar speeds were recorded at 80% of automatic weather stations in the highland areas.
In the town of Heimaey in the Westman Islands, wind-speed* of 28 m/s/about-imo/news/nr/1732/

Energianalys will forecast energy system variables, while SINTEF Energy Research will make
assumptions for the energy system in different cases, include new inputs in the EMPS model and
carry out simulations.

level, surveys commissioned by the European Com-
munity/the European Union provide an indication of trends in concern about cli-
mate change. Since 1992, such surveys have been undertaken among representative
samples of citizens in its Member States, and specifically on topics related to the
environment (Special Eurobarometers (EB) in 1992, 1995, 2002; and a Flash EB
in 2002). These have included

These differences are taken into account following WMO guidelines (WMO, 2008), whereby
wind speeds are projected to 10 mAGL by

-13 m/s with sleet or intermittent rain, but in the afternoon lighter winds are forecast in northern and eastern Iceland with brighter skies.
At midnight winds will be calm everywhere, although light snow showers are expected in the south and the west. Temperatures will be close to zero.
New Year‘s Day has also a fine weather forecast, given the season; slow wind, scattered hail and 0°C. Some
