      Powerful extratropical cyclone will hit Iceland on Valentine's Day. Iceland will get hurricane-force winds with dangerous wind gusts, possibly exceeding 200 km/h (124 mph).

      Icelandic Met Office has updated its warnings:

      • Red alert is in effect for Reykjavik - Capital Region, South Iceland, Faxafloi - Southwest Iceland and Southeast Iceland
      • Orange alert is in effect for Reykjavik - Capital Region, South Iceland, Faxafloi - Southwest Iceland, Breidafjordur - Westnorthwest Iceland, Westfjords, Northwest Iceland, Northeast Iceland, East Iceland, Eastfjords, Southeast Iceland and Central highlands - Uninhabited part of Iceland
      • Yellow alert is in effect for Reykjavik - Capital Region, South Iceland, Faxafloi - Southwest Iceland, East Iceland and Southeast Iceland

      The North Atlantic is now at its maximum and produces one rapidly intensifying low pressure area after another. These storms then travel east-northeast towards Greenland and Iceland, bringing strong winds, heavy rainfall and snow to Ireland, the UK and continental Europe.
