Does Iceland’s color-coded warning system have y Does Iceland’s color-coded warning system have you scratching your head? 🤔 Here’s the deal: these warnings, issued by Vedur.is, break down the severity of storms across the country — from manageable (yellow) to outright dangerous (red). SWIPE to understand what they mean and how they’ll impact your plans. Here’s the cliff notes 👇🏼 🟡 Yellow: Manageable, but be cautious. High winds and icy roads can still disrupt your plans, especially if you’re driving a campervan. Be sure to keep a close eye on conditions! 🟠 Orange: Avoid travel unless it’s absolutely necessary (especially if you don’t have experience with winter driving!). Roads are dangerous, and storms could shut them down. 🔴 Red: Don’t even think about it! Travel is prohibited, and roads are closed. These conditions are rare but extremely serious. Pro tip: Always check Iceland’s official weather website, Vedur.is, for the latest updates before you head out. Another great resource is road.is! Ever had your travel plans completely flipped by the weather? Let me know in the comments and be sure to SAVE this post if you’re traveling to Iceland this winter! . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife #weatherwarnings
