The Icelandic Low is a significant area of low atmospheric pressure located over the North Atlantic Ocean, particularly near Iceland. It plays a crucial role in influencing weather patterns in the region, contributing to the development of storms and precipitation. This low-pressure system is often associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation, which affects climate conditions in Europe and North America. The Icelandic Low typically strengthens during winter months, leading to increased storm activity and variable weather across the North Atlantic and surrounding areas.
