Back in about 1961 I was in the United States Air Force and stationed in Iceland. One time when on the base in Keflavik The wind was blowing so hard that it blew me over and there I was down on my hands and knees on the sidewalk that went from the barracks to the chow hall. The sidewalk was covered with ice with a thin layer of water on it. The wind filled the back of my parka like a sail and I was blown helplessly down the sidewalk and off into the nasty rocks on the side. I arrived at the chow hall bruised and bleeding. I spent most of my time at the radio transmitter site at Grindavik. I want to go back there and see that old site even though I understand that the buildings are mostly gone. I'm getting rather old so I had better get to it!
Wow!! What a super interesting story!! Sending you all good hopes to return to the scene of such a vivid memory!! 🙏🧊 📻
My dad was stationed at NASKEV in the early 70s. We lived there for 3 years. One night we went to see a movie. The parking lot was a sheet of ice. My dad held my hand on one side and my mom on the other. We didn't have to take one step. The wind took us across the parking lot. Lucky for us, the wind was going toward the building.
Yes. Iceland weather is crazy. Almost got blown away by the wind in vestrahorn since I'm tiny. I went solo for 2 weeks there last month. I would say the coldest part is in North Iceland around -18. I came from a humid country Malaysia and never experience so cold in my life before. But thank god I found your videos which are so helpful. Joined 8days ring-road tour by Troll expeditions. Saw the northern lights twice. Would love to visit Iceland again in summer :)
I’m watching this video on July 4th in Phoenix Az. The temp in the shade on my patio is 115 Deg. F. Iceland looks like Heaven!
When my friend, my sister, and I visited Reykjavík in July 2019, the warmest it got was 15°C and I was elated. Growing up in southern Ontario where summers are both hot and humid like Houston was/is brutal for me because I've always run hot. I would love summer so much more if our summer here was like summer in Iceland.
I also visited Iceland in 2019 and it was VERY cold compared with Greek Summer
I was thinking about moving to Iceland but I change my mind, Iceland is too cold for me, even too freezing for the summer
Actually the palistinean government does NOT support the practice of judaism!
Yes, the wind is crazy, and I think it gets a lot windier than we experienced. On cliffs, it can be a bit scary. We were on a cliff near Vik in August during a warm period, and the wind was absolutely frigid, even with gloves, and quite frightening near the edges. Another day, a glacier walk ended with us covered in ash.
Wind is right! 20 years ago when we lived on the NATO Base, the dumpsters would roll down the roads and the Marines would have to carry the kindergartners in to school! We would tie a piece of ribbon to our car antenna so that when we parked, we knew which way the wind was blowing before we opened the door. You could always tell the newbies on base because their vehicles had a nice dent where the hinge had opened the wrong way. :)
My husband and I were in Iceland in June 2019 for 5 days as part of a fabulous Northern Isles cruise from Holland America. We were blessed with good to great weather for almost all the days. But one of the two days we were in Reykjavík we experienced the incredible wind. We were on the Grand Ring Road tour and were “blown away” in more ways than one. But we were prepared with the correct layers. My husband was so pleased with our preparedness. This came from Jeannie’s information clothing/packing lists etc. There were people from Hawaii that had no idea of the weather wearing sandals, jean jacket and a sweatshirt from the ship. In some places the wind is very cold due to blowing by a glacier collecting even colder temperatures. Jeannie is not exaggerating but it is so wonderful in Iceland, it is worth some cold weather.
I agree with all what you said. I am from Buffalo,NY. The weather is kinda similar, but feel so much colder in Iceland because of the wind. I got stuck in the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon area for 2 days because the roads were closed completely caused by the strong wind on Jan 13 &14 this year. I missed my flight. One lesson learned check the weather FREQUENTLY (at least before you go out every morning).
Been to Iceland in april 2019. The wind was so intense that we were scared of driving at some point (by the Reynisfjara area). We always had to hold the doors of our camper really tight when we would get off the car. (We were so used to doing it by the end of our trip, that we were still doing it during our first days back in Canada. :P ) Oh dear Iceland, you are one of a kind.
It was so windy at Skogafoss last August that I couldn't put on my rain-pants to get very close to the waterfall. The wind is no joke.
People living near Skogafoss never get wrinkles ( true story! )
The wind in Iceland was no joke! My wife and I drove through the Westfjords when it suddenly started raining HORIZONTALLY! Luckily we survived, but it was definitely a nerve wracking and unforgettable experience.
jebb that our norm here in Iceland😆😆😆
@@Lucifer-ht1fz same with us in Wellington, New Zealand. The windiest and southernmost capital in the world 😂
I was in Iceland in September wearing vest, pullover, and long coat, gloves and scarf and I remember having to run for shelter twice during my 10 day holiday because I couldn't stand up the cold. And it not was only me running away..
Oh yes, I experienced the winds of Iceland on Dec. 10-11, 2019. Hurricane force winds at 72-108 km per hr. It was crazy. We were sequestered in our hotel from 3pm & overnight til afternoon the following day (lobby hurricane party!) but we got 2 extra days in Iceland because of flight cancellations. We were not unhappy to stay longer! By the way, Jeannie, I wish I had bought more chocolate covered liquorice! I’m also addicted to Pink Gin! Makes a yummy martini! I WILL return!!
Definitely got the full winter experience when we visited over New Year’s week this year. Calm, sunny days and winter storms where the roads were closed. Luckily, we were still able to enjoy so much because we had the right gear (Thanks Jeannie!). The shoe spikes were a definite help in fighting the ice and wind at the waterfalls. The only thing we didn’t have that could have come in handy were the waterproof boots, so we missed out seeing one of the waterfalls due to high water. Next time we will be even better prepared! Love the videos Jeannie.... thanks for all your help in making our trip a huge success!! ♥️♥️♥️

thank you for this video and your others. this video saved our trip. true story. we were in iceland may 20 to may 28 2023 - this was the last video we watched before going - we each added 2 extra layers and an extra layer of added rain gear (true story) the day of our flight ! goodness we needed all for 1st three days (golden circle and south coast days of exceptional locations before we drove ring road counterclockwise - 50 mph winds up near dyrholaey lighthouse) before wind / rain broke - occasionally / sporadically / intermittently / unpredictably. thank you ! thank you ! ave temp 35 to 48 f -- before wind chill. thank you.
You're so welcome! I'm sorry you experienced such brutal weather at the end of May! It's not usually so awful that time of year!
Everything you said happened to me. I checked every week forecast to have an idea of how cold it could get and it always stated 8 to 3 Celsius around the time of my visit (October 19) but when I arrived the wind was a slap to my face. It felt so much colder, the winds blew our hostel walls so hard that we did thought the next day we were not going to be able to go out. There was a moment where I did thought it would blew me away to the shore or that I would definitely lose my belongings. And I learned about how to open the car door the hard away. Without thinking and bC I’m not used to I opened normally but It made a loud crack noise and for a moment I thought it was broken. It wasn’t but it definitely “closed” and “opened” weird. Taking pictures was so difficult bC wind shook us and bC it was so cold be couldn’t user our hands properly. Loved every second but I definitely thought of how the word “extreme” applies to this beautiful place. Especially for first timer me.
That is probably how the Vikings travelled so efficiently from Iceland to Greenland to Vinland to Norway, etc. Back and forth back and forth over and over again. There was probably always a lot of wind to propel their Dragon Longships!
🤣 great point!
@@IcelandwithaView I liked and subscribed!😚
Vinland Saga.
True
We just came back from a trip in January and the first day we were there the winds were so strong I stepped off the bus and it blew me over! I was not prepared! But I still loved it!
Nice
You are the BEST!
You're the BEST Janette! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for all your useful tips and for the amazon store front.
I have been to Iceland twice. The first time was in May 2017 then Christmas 2018. Dressed much the same for both trips! Gullfoss was probably the most windy place we visited both times...hung onto the stair railings for dear life! Extraordinary to feel the power of nature.
what were you wearing? i'm going mid may this year and super confused about what to wear/layers!
@@steephaniieeeee a rain cape is a must, the warmest winter coat you own, hat, scarf, wool mitts and then take water proof gloves as well. I had hiking boots and winter boots with me. Take your wool socks. Bamboo tights, Lined water resistant pants, cotton t shirt and wool sweater ( that was my uniform!) I did take a short sleeved t shirt and wore it once. Then a slacks and dressier pullover outfit for dinners out at restaurants. If you have long hair, wear it in a braid or a bun, the wind makes a tangled mess of it in short order.
Did you wear all this in May? I’ve bought a 3 in 1 waterproof/fleece jacket, it’s not that warm, but I thought with a thermal top and a partly wool (or just full cotton) knit it would be warm enough (probably add a tshirt or something as another layer if needed)? Ofc would also have a scarf, beanie and gloves (not waterproof tho). For pants I was planning on wearing some lounge leggings underneath water resistant pants. Did you have a rain jacket or just one of those disposable plastic rain coats? I was thinking of getting one of those just in case it’s really rainy/for waterfalls
Yes. Even May was cold and the wind ripped right through us. My Canada Goose coat was a wonderful thing especially in the West Fjords! The rain cape ( one of those cheap disposable ones) I brought fit over the winter coat and was wonderful at the waterfalls, beaches etc. expect to dress like its winter!!!
I have been to Iceland in June for ten days and was very lucky with the weather as there was only one really nasty day. Still, bringing an extra layer of clothes is highly recommended, especially if you do not stay in Reykjavik all the time. I always had a little extra pack of clothes in my rucksack and I actually used it several times. As I am not very sensitive to cold, I walked around town in a T-Shirt quite often, usually putting the jacket on and off again and again. In the country side, I wore my light jacket at all times and sometimes put on the extra layer. So be prepared to change frequently.
I was there January 2020... in my opinion there was only 1 day that the winds were crazy, and that was when the tour went to the water falls and greenhouse... those winds were something else... I actually loved it because it was the 1st day that it felt cold... ( I like the cold)....I Think I watched just about every vid that Jeannie made and she is 100% spot on with everything she says... taking her advice made my 7 day trip once of the best in my life...not to mention Iceland is an AMAZING place in itself.
It sure is! 😀
I was in Iceland for New Year's. There was some good wind, but it didn't really bother me. I grew up in the windmill area of Palm Springs and we consistently had 20-40 mph winds, with occasional windy days in the 60-70 mph range. The neighbor's roof got ripped off by it this year, unfortunately for him. I also learned the hard way long ago that wind+humidity is the absolute worst combo for staying warm and planned accordingly!
hello, we are just come back in Italy after a two weeks trip to Iceland. thanks to you for your tips , expecially crampons , that made our visit unforgettable. we felt the wheater not so cold , even if it snow sometimes , coming from the land of sun we expect storms and freezing temperature, but except at jokull sarlon , we 'd stay outdoor several hours without problem . thanx for all. Ciao
Always felt it was the wind, temp, and humidity combination. Boen Chilling days. Years 89-93 and 95-98 windows. Every time my family moved there when i was a kid, it was remarked for recorded setting winters. (jokingly was told by some locals not to come back, or even visit.)
Flying in next week... when I visited previously in,August, it was cool, but nice. Iceland is still warmer than southern Ontario right now😏🇨🇦❄
I’m also flying next week from Monday to Friday and I’m from London nice to meet you 😊
Iceland weather reminded me of Colorado weather.
Colorado: sunny, beautiful, windy-I live in a brick house and it shakes most days, it’s freezing 9 months out of the year! Like...no really freezing. That sun is deceptive.
Prices were equivalent as well.
I’d rather be in Iceland.
It’s -17 Celsius with a real feel of -25 in Ottawa, Canada. The real feel takes into account the wind chill and it only gets down to -10 during the day in Reykjavik. So it’s not as cold. But I can totally see the wind annoying the hell out of me.
I'd imagine it's a much more humid cold with high wind speeds but not as deeply freezing as Canadian winter days
Have you ever experienced such crazy winds in Iceland? Yes!!! During my last trip in early march 2019 for 2 weeks, there are 2 weather alerts - yellow and orange. The yellow alert was when I was driving in the south-east coast (no road closure on that road yet). I was alone, and of course I feel like the car is shaking. I went out to see Vestrahorn mountain in that crazy wind. I could only walk few meters then I returned back to my car as I feel like I gonna fly in the air at any time. Ended up I took picture of the mountain from my car as I was scared of my own safety. Second weather alert is the orange one from Vik to Hvolsvollur, at the end of my Ring Road trip. I get the notification of weather alert the day before, so I have changed all my plan for the next day to that same evening - luckily I managed to visit all in one day before night time. This alert resulted in road closure from noon the next day until 12 hours later in the south coast. I remember driving out from Vik early in the morning before the road closure. It was raining heavily with big ocean waves. Winds were crazy and of course the car was shaking even more. I remember sleeping on that night in Selfoss hearing wind and sea sounds everywhere. Luckily I managed to finish the whole trip safely, and it was some of the memorable experiences I had. Could not agree more with their crazy winds!
Thanks for the warning. We'll be in Iceland mid-late August. I had not idea it would be windy everyday - you can't tell that from the photos!!
its windy every day in iceland but you get used to it if you live here😆😆😆😆😆🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸😕
Thanks, im flying tomorrow
Going for 2 weeks in May by myself
Hi Jeannie! Greetings from hot and humid New Orleans…Thanks for your wonderful Iceland 🇮🇸 weather tips.
You're so welcome! New Orleans weather is very different from Iceland weather! I hope this video has prepared you for what to expect!
More like Houston’s weather..lol
What an awesome, informative video. Thanks! (and you're so pretty ;-)
i was in Stykkisholmur on 14 Feb 2020, when all travel was advised against due to storm of the century, it was dangerous out there
Thanks for your videos.
It would be very useful if you would do a video explaining how to look the wearher forecast, how to understand the signs in the map, as well as how to understant de aurora forecast maps.
Thanks a lot.
I was in Iceland just one week ago, and I can assure everyone that this is correct -3°Celsius feel like -10°Celsius atleast. Sometimes when driving the wind is really frightening. Such a beautiful country with a rough weather.
Yes we had one night with - 6 celcius and verry strong wind 6bft + northern lights = verry cold
Uhh I applied to University of Iceland and if I get accepted I will need to learn how to not freeze to death
@@TheGamingg33k Thermal shirt and pants under your normal clothes. Wind tight clothing when you go out for a walk. That is what I did
Thanks 😊
You're welcome!
Went in September 2019. The worst wind was the black sand beach and sea arch near Vik. The wind also made driving more stressful, again mostly in the south and the closer we got to Vik the worse it was. Other than that, we didn’t notice the wind much or the humidity.
August 2019 and agree with black sand beach
When we visited in November it was 6 degrees c when we got there, -8 but sunny in some places the next day, very rainy and windy the next day and snowing on our last day!
🙆🏼♀️sounds exactly right!
The fact the avg is still -2C during the winter seems drastically warmer than I expected lol
We were in Myvatn on 2/14/2020 for the "Storm of the Century". You aren't exaggerating about the winds. 70 mph steady wind with 110+ mph gusts. That was not the norm but, the rest of our Ring Road trip, we experienced at least 10 mph winds every day. Temperatures were ok, wind chills were what did us in. Loved the trip and even thought about moving there.
I'll be back sometime for sure.
Thanks so much for your videos as my husband and I are planning our trip for May! Was wondering if you would be able to do an update video on transportation in Iceland, specifically getting to and from the airport and to Blue Lagoon? We are planning to go to the Blue Lagoon on our way to the airport, is it possible to buy a return transfer but be dropped off at the airport instead of coming back to Reykjavik?
it is called Heat index, hotter than the actual temperature
I LOVE wind!
The Houston/Phoenix comparison works most of the time... except for those monsoon days in Phoenix. When the sun comes out right after a wild rain storm and immediately starts evaporating all that water. Then it's suddenly humid AND hot! Good news is it's not every day, bad news is it's always in the summer.
We have winds that can be very bad, they’re called Santa Ana’s. They are known to throw chairs and break gates, ugh 😣!!…
I didn't realize Iceland was that humid! I don't like Phoenix or Houston lol. Been to Iceland twice both times in December a year apart. First winter of 2017 was cccccccold! Early December, a year later also early December, not as cold. Wanted to toss the parkas!
Nice
For a little comparison: here in Denmark the annual average Wind speed is just over 5 m/s and the annual average humidity is 79 percent.
Nice
I live in Villa Park California.
Well Jenny if I ever visit Iceland I just have too stay with you so we can cuddle up and stay warm. 😯😄
Thanks for your video, very useful info. I wasn't counting with the wind!!! I'm going solo for the Ring Road at the 2nd half of this coming April. What kind of weather should I expect?
Thanks :)
Here's my video on April in Iceland: icelandwithaview.com/april/
april is a good month just not for traveling in Iceland for that april is a dangerous month

Oh man, as a nervous flyer now I’m really nervous about flying into Iceland next week 🥴
Enjoy your trip to Iceland!
Hi am planning to visit iceland in December or January...
lol um so im pretty small and light, am i gna get blown over? sometimes when its really windy in Australia (not a cyclone or anything) i feel like im going to get blown over hahaha. is it dangerous to be on a cliff when the wind is that strong? i obviously wouldn't go anywhere near the edge because i afraid of heights, but still??
Hi You are saying it will be cold and windy and humid in early June in Iceland? OMG! Can you also tell us what types of converters and/or adapters we will need for Iceland hotels/lodges? Thanks!
Here you go! icelandwithaview.com/plug/
Ahhhh! Thanks for the Amazon link!!! 😄 But can you help me understand why Icelandic women seem to love black clothing so much? Regardless....loved the "Reykjavik Look" collection, especially the raincoat (in bright colors!). Oh, and greetings from Cheesey Wisconsin! 🧀
I went from Sweden to Iceland in 2018 and was stuck in Husavik north once with these ghostly wind i thought my cars gonna fly away with the wind ,.., damn it was scary i still remember and i was running like a duck 🦆
4:07 You look so fresh and ten years younger!
I am going to work as a tree planter in two weeks to Iceland. Is it also so windy in the middle of the island?
V good
😊😊😊
Give me some tips for me cuz I am going to live there in Vestmanneyjar
I wonder if it's windy like Chicago? The windy city
We are travelling to Iceland (cruise) late August/early September 2021. Any ideas about how we should pack? Note: We are from FLORIDA!

Sri Lanka is a poor country, I like your country, but I do not have enough money to come. I have to stay in Sri Lanka for the rest of my life.
November 2018 must have pretty mild then.
Can I save this video to watch later?
Just wanted to say, a channel like this should be a mandatory watch before going to Iceland. There are so many dead bodies all over the country of tourists that have never been found. My family does search and rescue, even the dogs, and they have to search for lost tourists every single year. Some are found months later, frozen to death, and some have never been found.
I've definitely experienced the wind and snow in Iceland, since I was born and grew up there. The wind+ice almost caused me to be hit by a car once, when the wind ran with me on the ice straight in front of a moving car.
I once parked the car on the wrong side, and the wind flung the door open, and me with it. I held on to the car-door for dear life, with my legs in the air, like some kind of a cartoon.
The wind is literally dangerous for people as lightweight as me, I only weigh 110lbs.
I remember visiting my grandparents in the eastfjords of Iceland as a kid. I was just walking outside on the snow, minding my own business, when I heard someone scream from one of the nearby houses: "Get off of my car!" the snow had completely swalowed entire cars and there were no signs of cars under there.
About 10 years ago I decided to hike with a few friends up to the volcanic eruption. I was so close to the destination when I injured my foot and couldn't stand or walk anymore. I was wearing a Glazier suit, but there isn't much, if anything, that can protect you from - 35°C and wind... and not being able to move much. I had to lay around for five hours to wait for a rescue car to drive me back down, and eventually hypothermia set in. Thankfully a friend stayed with me until I got rescued and was able to think for me when the hypothermia confusion set in.
I ended up with frostburns on my face and went straight into the jacuzzi as soon as I came home.
A few years ago I was on my way back to the city from Keflavík when suddenly a snowstorm hit and I got stuck before I even left Keflavík, right at the edge of the town. Big trucks were getting stuck in the same street as me, and I was just driving a Volkswagen golf. The search and rescue teams came and started trying to help people get the cars loose, but eventually they gave up, it was hopeless. The weather was too bad, And they just left. I was left there all alone since all the people in the other cars just walked the short distance home, but I had nowhere to walk.
After two hours I was starting to worry about running out of gas, and I called my dad, which called the search and rescue teams up there, and I expected to be rescued at any moment.
After three hours the car ran out of gas, so no more heating.
I tried to put on a bandana and go out to find help, but I only made it a few steps because I couldn't breath, so I just went back to the car.
Four hours later I started feeling the hypothermia set in. I rang my dad again, and he called both the police and the search and rescue team, and they promised to be there soon.
Five hours after getting stuck, at 3am, I was really starting to loose my mind from the hypothermia when my dad called to check on me as I was taking a comfortable nap, but nobody had come to rescue me.
Then he called everybody he could think of. He used all the connections he had and used threats to get someone to rescue me. I'm guessing he could hear how strange I sounded. Five minutes later someone woke me up by knocking on the window. The snow had reached up to the middle of the car door, so they had to shovel me out. They came prepared with heating blankets and hot coco. They drove me all the way back to my friends place, where I would stay the night. I really didn't have a choice because the road between Keflavík and the city was closed.
I'm pretty sure that my dad was about to go the the search and rescue station to get a car and come get me himself, if i hadn't called him so quickly to let him know that I'd been rescued.
During the hurricane winds a few years ago(Diddú), our house got out relatively ok, it was built between a hill and an apartment building, although the satellite dish blew off the roof and a part of the inside of the house was a swimmingpool.
My family was out most of the night saving idiots that thought it might be a good idea to go outside.
I'm so glad to have moved to Spain... For health reasons... And safety.
Yes, I've experienced your wind, and it blew me down. :/
Beautiful as usual.
I love you
creepy :-/
How bad or good is the weather at the beginning of June?
Depends on the year, but this will give you a general idea of what to expect: icelandwithaview.com/june/
The day after we arrived last month for our honeymoon, all flights going in or out because the winds were around 50 mph.
We walked to the grocery store that day, and I was literally being blown into my husband by the wind. I kept telling him it was reminding me of tropical storm winds...just obviously not tropical.
It was intense, to say the least. Definitely bring wind breakers!
How do you manage to survive in such a weather
Yep it's quite windy up there, I love it!
Just make sure you park your car so you open your doors against the wind... if the wind comes from behind the car it can destroy your door, and this is not insured.
My advice on your channel: interesting for sure, but please show more images of the country, less of yourself!
Wait does higher humidity not make the area feel warmer ?? You said it helps make things feel colder not warmer. Correct me if I am wrong or jsut confused lol
She didn’t explain it well but in cold climates with high humidity, it will make it feel colder because if the air is humid, it has a high water content and it’s more difficult to transfer your body heat to water than it is to air so feels colder on your skin.
@@ddobro2 Oh wow thanks for the explination. Did not know that!
Do Icelanders themselves feel the cold or does it not bother them? You know, do they walk around in just a sweater and jeans when tourists are bundled up to the nines in parkas and snow boots? I hear Icelandic sweaters are as good as a thick wool coat to wear. Is that true?
we love the cold and yes our( lopapeysa ) sweaters are better than most coats🇮🇸😀 and the wind does not bother us we rather like it thats why we live in the arctic
Cold, expensive and windy. People love it. Why?
Am proud to be African
Brrrr
Love to fly a kite in Iceland.
Running not required.
Iceland is for the Icelandic
i dont think its colder then i think i think its very fucking cold richard in Miami fl
R u American ?
obviously
It's called Iceland. How cold can it be?!
You would think by the name that Greenland were warmer than Iceland but no...
why ICEland..... just want to know why so COLD>.... I used to live in Wisconsin, USA>.. cold.... so I leave
Because Iceland is the most BEAUTIFUL place on the planet!! I'm from Wisconsin but as long as you have the right clothing and gear, the cold, wind, humidity is all worth it! I'm not sure where else you can find volcanoes, waterfalls, icebergs, separating tectonic plates, icy blue rivers, hot springs, beaches and glaciers!
@@IcelandwithaView i appreciated on ur reply. I understand......I now living in Auckland New Zealand新西兰.
We are going in July. I don't think I'm gonna like it. Do anything for the lady.
Did you like it?
Why did humans decide to live there!!!
simple its clean and pure and we love the Cold
