When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I set off on our big island roadtrip<\/strong> at the turn of September and October, we had a pretty clear idea of how cold it would get. After all, the thermometer showed a merciful minus one degree. But then we stepped out of the car and the Icelandic wind gave us a proper slap in the face<\/strong>. If you’re wondering when to visit Iceland, this is exactly the kind of detail that makes all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to those icy gusts, the wind-chill felt more like minus thirty<\/strong>, and we quickly piled on every single layer we had stuffed in our suitcase. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, it was an absolutely magical season. We fell head over heels for the autumn colours, the endless mossy lava fields, and that divine sense of calm now that the crowds had thinned out dramatically<\/strong>. The greatest reward of all was the Northern Lights, which we eagerly chased in the remote Westfjords<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did have its downside, though. From the 1st of October, signs reading “closed for winter, reopening in April<\/strong>” started popping up at many of the less touristy spots, and we sometimes searched in vain for an open restaurant. In this article you’ll find detailed tips on the best time to visit Iceland, what the weather is really like, and exactly what to expect from each month, so you can make the most of your trip and avoid any nasty surprises<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
