Anticipated temperatures to surpass 20 degrees Celsius this upcoming weekend.
Heyl there! Here's the lowdown on the weather in Iceland this weekend. The southwest is expecting temps to sizzle up to 18°C, while the northeast will stay slightly chillier at around 7°C. Winds are forecast to be light and northeastern or variable, with speeds ranging from 3-10 mps. Skies will be mostly clear, but cloudy periods might hit North and East Iceland until midday.
This pleasant spell of weather is set to continue through tomorrow with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 19°C practically everywhere. The east might face some light rain or drizzle, with temperatures hovering between 5°C and 11°C.
Now, Hrafn Guðmundsson, a meteorologist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, predicts the weather will be mostly friendly today and over the weekend, except in the east, where rainy spells and cooler air are likely.
In an interview with mbl.is, Guðmundsson mentioned that while temperatures are unlikely to top 20°C today, they might reach 18-19°C in the southwest. He also thinks temperatures will probably surpass 20°C tomorrow, especially in the inland areas of South Iceland.
Light winds will dominate most of the country, but a weak frontal system moving in tomorrow could bring more robust northerly winds to the east coast. On Sunday, cloud cover will increase, but clearing days are forecast for later in the week.
Pro tip: Iceland in June typically has temperatures ranging from 8°C to 15°C, with moderate winds and occasional rain showers or drizzle. In late June, you can expect around 14-15 hours of daylight due to the country's proximity to the summer solstice!
So, if you're looking for detailed, current weather forecasts for specific regions in Iceland from today through Sunday, it's best to check in with local meteorological experts or reliable online weather services. Stay cozy, enjoy the weather, and safe travels, my friend!
