weather and daylight

weather here is crazy moody and sporatic. for all the technical information on precipitation and temperature just check out the wikipedia page 'Climate of Iceland'. neither really captures how dynamic a single day can be though. it'll go from being warm and clear, to cloudy and cool, in the span of about an hour. i find that i'm constantly putting on layers and taking them off.

because of how north iceland is, there are vast differences in the amount of daylight hours. here's the variance:

Month Daybreak Dusk
January 10:03 16:59
February 09:13 18:11
March 07:46 19:35
April 05:55 21:10
May 03:50 23:04
June 24 hours daylight
July 24 hours daylight
August 03:06 23:57
September 05:17 21:35
October 06:50 19:43
November 08:18 18:03
December 09:36 16:57


and even right now when the sun goes down, it feels like it is perpetual dawn. which is weird.
