Summer in Iceland typically features mild temperatures ranging from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F). Although it's one of the warmer periods, the weather can still be quite variable. It's advisable to pack waterproof and windproof jackets, as well as layers that you can add or remove depending on the day's weather
During the summer, Iceland experiences very long daylight hours, known as the 'Midnight Sun.' Around the summer solstice in late June, the sun barely sets in the north of Iceland and doesn't go down until after midnight in the south. The daylight lasts for nearly 24 hours in some parts, gradually decreasing as the season progresses towards August
Summer is ideal for exploring Iceland’s great outdoors. Activities such as hiking, glacier tours, horseback riding, and river rafting are perfect this time of year. Visiting the numerous waterfalls, geysers, and volcanic landscapes under the nearly endless daylight is a unique experience
Summer is the peak tourist season in Iceland, resulting in higher numbers of visitors at popular sites. To ensure availability and possibly better prices, it's wise to book your tours, accommodations, and car rentals well in advance
Summer is a fantastic time for wildlife watching in Iceland. You can expect to see a variety of bird species including puffins, especially in early summer. Whales are also more active and visible during these months, making whale watching tours highly popular and rewarding
