The largest city that could be impacted by Nigel when it turns Post Tropical is Reykjavik, the capital and largest city of Iceland. Flooding is not a concern since it won’t dump alot of rain unto Iceland. However Storm surge might be a particular problem for the Southwestern coast of Iceland when Nigel approaches, so in early preparation it is best advised to stay out from the shore when Nigel approaches.
