🇮🇸❗️Record-Breaking Heat in Iceland: Temperatures Exceed 26 °C in Mid-May

On May 15, 2025, Iceland recorded its highest May temperature in history. At the Egilsstaðir airport weather station in the east of the country, the temperature reached 26.6 °C, breaking the previous record of 25.6 °C set in Vopnafjörður in 1992.

🌤️☀️ According to forecasts, warm and sunny weather will continue in the coming days, especially in the eastern and northeastern regions, where temperatures may reach 23 °C.

📊 Typically, average daytime temperatures in May in Iceland range between 4–9 °C, and around 10–12 °C in Reykjavík and the south. The current values far exceed seasonal norms.

🌍 These unusual temperatures may be linked to global climate change, which is increasingly affecting weather patterns across different parts of the world.
