Surrounded by the North Atlantic Ocean with undulating mountains, narrow fjords and wild coastlines, the Faroe Islands feel like a world away from everywhere. When it comes to seasons, the islands offer a unique experience depending on the time of year that you visit.

The best time to visit weather-wise is in the summer (June - August) when the conditions are drier and sunnier, although it's never guaranteed in the Faroes! The days are longer which is great for exploring the great outdoors, and you'll benefit from all the main tourist attractions being open (many places close during the winter). You'll also be able to explore some of the more remote islands which aren't always accessible during the winter season.

Weather: Thanks to the archipelago's remote location, it's fair to say the weather gets pretty wild. The Faroe Islands lie in a maritime subarctic climate zone with short, mild summers and cool, wet winters. Summer days see an average high of only 55°F and just under 20 hours of daylight in June around the summer solstice. Average winter temperatures range from the low 30's to mid 40s F and the daylight can be as little as five hours on the shortest day of the year. The weather is reliably unpredictable throughout the year.
