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?
A climate type is a coarse bucket. It can hold steady for years while the weather inside it shifts — or tip into the next bucket.
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.
