Making sense of Iceland's weather

Summer (June–August) is mildest, typically 10–15°C, with long daylight; winter brings cold, wind and snow, with only a few hours of daylight around midwinter. Wind is often the biggest factor — it can make a mild day feel bitter and affect driving and tours — so always check wind as well as temperature. Spring and autumn are transitional and unpredictable. Wherever you go, pack a windproof, waterproof outer layer and warm mid-layers, and keep a swimsuit handy for Iceland's geothermal pools.
