No Icelandair planes have been able to take off or land at Keflavík International Airport this morning. Last night, 28 flights were cancelled due to weather. The next flight is at 14.15 today.

Wow air has had to postpone two flights today coming from London and Paris at 14.25 and 14.45 today. Instead they will arrive between 19 and 20 tonight. 

The Iceland met office has predicted an ongoing storm today. Winds will reach a maximum of 18-25 m/s in southwest Iceland. When the storm goes down in the southwest this afternoon, it will hit other parts of the country, first the West Fjords and then the north and east. 

There is heavy rain in Reykjavík at the moment and streets can be very icy due to the snowmelt.
