Selfoss sits on Iceland’s south coast, the wettest and stormiest part of the country thanks to direct exposure to Atlantic depressions.
Rain here can turn to sleet or snow with little warning, and the Icelandic Meteorological Office’s radar is the main tool for tracking fast-moving Atlantic fronts. Learn more: How Does Rain Radar Work? · Open the full Rain Map
