During the whole year, average temperature generally stays around 4°C/39°F due to its subpolar oceanic climate. After all, you must not forget that Reykjavik is actually the most northern capital in the world, so it's obviously going to be cold! From January to February, minimal temperatures drop to 0°C/32°F. From June to September, the hottest temperatures elevate at 12°C/53°F. Months with the most rain are from January to March, but also September and October. I know, planning a voyage to Iceland is complicated given its difficult weather. However, if I were still to advise you a period, come during the summer. If you're planning to come to Reykjavik during winter, know that there won't be much sun -- daylight only stays for a few hours! Therefore, I advise you to organise your time when visiting to enjoy the few hours you have while there's still daylight. Other than that, coming in winter is the perfect time to see boreal lights. The ideal place to spot them, without having to go too far away, is Álftanes, which is about 15 minutes away from Reykjavik. Additionally to an amazing sight, you'll also get to take a photo of this unforgettable scenery. Sounds great, huh?
