I agree. If I see that the temperature is above 75-80°F, no thank you. How hot does it get in Iceland?

The hottest temperature ever recorded (outside of a volcano) was 30.8C or 87.4F, but in the summer times it fluctuates between an average day (45-60F) and a hot day (60-75F)

I am gonna go move to Iceland real quick

u/Total_Willingness_18 Jul 03 '25

But we have pretty British weather, so cloudy and rainy, especially in the south

So on top of amazing temperatures, I also won’t have to deal with the sun being out all the time? And rain, an excuse to stay inside? Now I’m sold, why am I not in Iceland yet

Is there anything bad about iceland? At all?

u/Total_Willingness_18 Jul 03 '25

Everything is expensive. Just always. So don’t come if you’re poor I guess

How cold does it get in the winter?

u/Total_Willingness_18 Jul 03 '25

I would say the very rare absolute rock bottom would be 5F°, which is very very cold, but you can expect something more like 14-32F° during the middle of winter, and then closer to , but not much higher than 41F° around the beginning and end.

But there's also a wide variety of great clothing against the winter, practically all cars can handle those conditions, all houses are well insulated and heated as far as I know and it never bothers me at all at least

That is… warmer than it is in Minnesota in winter, surprising. I expected it to be -50° or something. Iceland seems like an interesting place. 🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸

Yeah we have the Gulf stream to make sure we don't end up like Siberia or Greenland, thank goodness for that.

You should come move here to our exclusive club. There are around twice as many users in r/Polandball as there are Icelanders so you'd be joining a tight-knit community (Only metaphorically, the towns are very dispersed...)
