Weather warnings for northern gales and heavy rainfall that swept through the country yesterday expired last night. The weather was accompanied by heavy precipitation, snow or sleet, and widespread winter conditions on the roads.

A large 4x4 with trailer was found overturned in a ditch, fencing had been flattened, and roof panels from seven buildings were found 100 metres away from their roofs when the family returned to Norðurhjáleiga farm.

Warming temperatures have caused large stones to break off the cliff at Reynisfjara beach, South Iceland.

Environmental and economic changes could make it easier for non-native plants and animals to gain a foothold in the North.
