In the past days frost has been dominating and last Sunday it went as high as - 14°C, resulting in beautiful frosty landscape. Winters are normally not that cold in Akureyri with an average temperature around - 1°C. This is thanks to the Gulf Stream, resulting in a cool temperate maritime climate with refreshing summers and mild winters. Summers are pleasant, with average temperatures between 10-13 °C (50-55 °F) and daylight that extends far into the night. Winters are mild with an average temperature around 0°C to -1 °C (32 °F).
