  • Officially, summer should have started in Iceland on April 25 - a national holiday celebrating the first day of summer! But now, in June, winter has returned to Iceland in full force.
    On June 5, Art and Alina travelled to Akureyri to witness an unusual summer storm that unexpectedly hit the North and East of Iceland, blanketing the landscapes with snow and ice just as they were eagerly awaiting summer. Officials issued weather warnings days before the low-pressure front arrived, which helped avoid any major incidents. While snow in June is not that uncommon in Iceland, the duration of this storm is exceptional.

    Hi what about the weather forecast for the east and the north? I know that longtime forecast is not as reliable as a 3 days prediction. I will come to Egilsstaðir on July 6th an then drive along the east coast to the north. Hope weather will get much more better

      Keeping our fingers crossed that the weather will be great when you're here! There is no way to predict the weather, but speaking from experience - as we've had this extreme and unusual weather event now in the North and East, it is unlikely that it will happen again soon 😊 We are also eagerly awaiting summer! 🌞

      Climate is always changing. It's called an interglacial period.

      This is why “climate change” became the preferred nomenclature decades ago. Try to keep up, Mike. If you don’t think the weather is more extreme now all around the world then you must be living in your own universe.
