Transfer and Other Options:

As its name suggests, Iceland is cold, but not as cold as might be expected because of the passing warm waters of the Gulf Stream, which regulate the climate. Despite its extreme north Atlantic situation, Reykjavik's average mid-winter temperatures are often no lower than those in New York City. The city's coastal location does, however, also mean it is prone to wind, and gales are common in winter. Reykjavik is also a very wet city, having on average 213 rainy days out of the year, with spring having slightly more sunny days.

The summer temperatures in Reykjavík range from 41°F (5°C) at night to as high as 77°F (25°C) during the day. The average winter temperature is 31°F (- 0.5°C).

The south is the wettest part of the country, but snow is rare. Coastal areas tend to experience winter gales and are generally windy.

During the summer months there is almost continuous daylight; early spring and late autumn feature long twilights. From mid-November until the end of January, in the darkness of winter, the opposite is true, with the country only experiencing a few hours of daylight each day.

The Northern Lights are often visible in autumn and early winter!
