Iceland has a subpolar oceanic climate, characterized by cool summers and relatively mild winters due to the Gulf Stream. Expect variable weather with wind, rain, and sunshine often occurring within the same day, regardless of the season.
June to August offers the warmest temperatures, longest daylight hours (midnight sun), and generally the most stable weather, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the entire country.
The summer months of June, July, and August are the peak tourist season, with the highest prices and largest crowds. This is when most roads and attractions are fully accessible.
The winter months (October to April) offer a chance to see the Northern Lights and experience a magical snowy landscape, but daylight hours are very short and many highland roads are closed. Prices are lower and crowds are significantly smaller.
