Week overview -
Earthquake activity throughout the country is described in a weekly summary that is written by a Natural Hazard Specialist. The weekly summary is published on the web every Tuesday. It covers the activity of the previous week in all seismic areas and volcanic systems in the country. If earthquake swarms are ongoing or significant events such as larger earthquakes have occurred during the week, they are specifically discussed. More

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

The weather app improved
Weather forecasts and the current weather condition can be checked through an improved weather app provided by IMO.
Forecasts are now provided for each hour and the meteograms are available again.
Location is detected if GPS on; alerts issued by the Met Office appear automatically during the day and a personal weather watch can be arranged.
An interactive weather map shows weather observations at any station in the country.
