Traveling to Iceland is an unforgettable experience—however, the weather and the road conditions are always something that you need to take in consideration unless you are travelling with a tour operator.
Iceland’s weather can surprise even experienced travelers, and it has a direct impact on driving conditions. One rule always applies: safety first.
If you wish to travel on your own you need to have in consideration a few things.:

1- Expect the unexpected: The weather can change incredibly fast. You might start your journey with clear skies and, within minutes, find yourself driving through rain, snow, or strong winds.

2- Weather conditions in Iceland can be pretty extreme: Icelandic weather is not like what most travelers are used to at home. Rain, snow, and wind can become intense and potentially dangerous without proper preparation or experience. Strong winds, reduced visibility, icy roads, and sudden storms are all common, particularly outside urban areas.

3- Always check the road status and advice given before your trip starts on road.is

4- Check the weather forecast throughout the day on vedur.is

5- Bring layers and appropriate clothing as temperatures can drop very quickly.
These conditions are particularly important during the Autumn and Winter months. If you do not have experience driving under strong winds, icy or snow-covered roads, we would recommend that you use a tour provider.
