The Icelandic Met Office has urged people not to travel before the worst part of the storm is over. The police of Suðurnes have also encouraged people to be careful with the weather.
Trailers should not be attached to cars when driving during the storm, because the wind can reach up to 18 to 25 metres per second, with gusts near mountains reaching 30 metres per second. People are also advised to move loose objects from outside to inside before the storm hits.
