Iceland’s spring winter wonderland

Those Icelanders who joyously proclaimed that ‘spring’ had arrived last week presumably slinked back into work this morning after the Easter holidays with their tail between their legs – after parts of the country woke up to freezing temperatures and a liberal sprinkling of snow.

According to current weather forecasts, the country will not be fully clear of midday sub-zero temperatures until Thursday.

Very few places in Iceland today will get past 0°C and snow showers are likely in most parts of the country, particularly the south and south-west.

Temperatures will rise later in the week, but the warmer air may be accompanied by stronger winds and overcast conditions.
