\n\t\tWhat to Pack for Iceland in The Summer\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

July 10, 2024<\/p>\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been to Iceland three times – in 2015, 2019, and 2024. It is one of my favorite places on Earth and has so much uniqueness that separates it from many other destinations in the world. Because of its remote location, one-of-a-kind features, and northern latitude, Iceland can be a challenge when figuring out exactly what to pack. <\/p>\n

Trust me, on my first visit I did not pack nearly enough heavy layers and survived off a $25 raincoat from Amazon which, in fact, did not keep out any rain. I was young, dumb, and likely did 0 legitimate research on the climate of Iceland during the summer months. <\/p>\n

I’ve tweaked and perfected my packing on each visit, and feel I am finally confident to share what I would consider as the best packing list for Iceland. <\/p>\n

What to Pack for Iceland in The Summer – The Climate <\/b><\/h2>\n

The average high during the summer in Iceland is around 57 degrees. My first two visits were sunnier and warmer than average, while my latest visit was much colder. When in Iceland, hope for 60 degrees and sunny, but also expect 45 degrees and rainy. That’s just how it goes when you’re that close to the Arctic Circle!<\/p>\n

Layers are also key. Locals have a saying that goes, “Don’t like the weather? Wait five minutes.” And that saying could not be more true. You can go from windswept and freezing to hot and in a t-shirt all in under five minutes. And even if the weather doesn’t call for rain, always bring your raincoat in your daypack! <\/p>\n
