Mini Guide to Iceland

Weather
Despite having a subarctic climate, Iceland enjoys milder temperatures due to the warm waters of the Atlantic Gulf Stream if compared to other countries at the same latitude. So even during the winter, the island’s coasts remain ice-free.
The average temperature during the winter is zero degrees Celsius (though the lowest recorded was minus 38 degrees) and around 20 in the summer (with the highest recorded being 30.5 degrees). As the weather changes constantly, locals tend to say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes!”
