Traveller notes on Húsavík in July
Notes from nearby Akureyri (54 km away)
Húsavík doesn't have its own notes for July yet — these are about Akureyri, close enough to share the season.
Akureyri's forum calls July genuinely variable even by Icelandic standards — anywhere from 10 to 20°C, with rain, sun and wind all realistic on any given day, and the north running noticeably cooler than the south of the country. Regulars' standard advice is long sleeves as a base layer regardless, with a proper waterproof on hand for when the weather turns.
