11 Essentials to Pack for Summer in Iceland

From personal experience, I know that having the right clothing and other essentials, regardless of the season here, is crucial when it comes to staying warm, dry, and comfortable. While I am sharing 11 summer essentials to pack for Iceland in this episode, you can find all of the essentials and some non-essentials that might be worth packing, if you have the space, in my free download called the Ultimate Packing Checklist for Iceland. The way I have structured this episode is that I will share about the weather here during the summer, because that is a major factor when it comes to what you should pack. Then I will go into the essentials. Lastly, I will share an Icelandic phrase and a random fact of the episode.

Miajmu Summer weather in Iceland – What to Expect The summer season means long, bright days and warmer weather. You can experience the midnight sun (24-hour brightness) in June, July and part of August. Even if you don't visit during those months, the country enjoys considerably longer days from early April to early September. The average temperature in southern Iceland during the summer ranges from 10-13 ̊ Celsius (50-55 ̊ Fahrenheit). Some days the temperature might even go up to 25 ̊ Celsius (77 ̊ Fahrenheit) but that is considered a very warm day in Iceland and is quite rare. To be safe, it is better to plan for the average temperature or a little lower, and be pleasantly surprised if better weather occurs. Intense wind and rainstorms can happen during summer, so a water- proof outer layer is a must on your checklist. This time of the year is my favorite because the bright days allow for you to go on so many adventures out in nature. *Please not that there are some affiliate links in this post.
