What is the climat like in Iceland?
When people hear the name Iceland they automatically think it's cold, but it's not as cold as people think because of the passing warm waters of the Gulf Stream, which regulates the climate. The summer temperatures in Reykajavik range from 41 degrees at night to as high as 77 degrees during the day. 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 momths 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 oppossite is true, with the country only expericing a few hours of daylight each day. The Northern lights are often visible in autumn and early winter.
