Weather shift brings strong winds and sleet

The Icelandic Met Office forecasts increased wind speeds, with potential isolated gales along coastal and southern areas. Temperatures will remain low, ranging from 0°C to 6°C (32°F to 43°F). A deep low-pressure system is the cause of the stronger easterly winds, and light sleet or snow is expected in southern Iceland tomorrow.
