Akureyri sits near a climate boundary

⚖️

This city sits right on the line between the current type and the next type along. Different climate maps file it on different sides of that line; the lived weather doesn't change at the line — it's a naming boundary, not a wall.

Has Akureyri's climate type changed?

Where these numbers come from

The climate type and the month-by-month figures on this page are computed from Akureyri's measured 30-year climate normals (1991–2020) — the same official records behind Akureyri's main climate page, so the two always agree.

Long-range climate maps measure things slightly differently and can place a city in a neighbouring category. Where they differ, this page uses the measured station record as the climate today.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 15 years of daily observations at Akureyri, a weather station, inside the city. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
