Does it really rain in Iceland all the time?
It is very understandable to wonder if when traveling in Iceland you will meet such a rainy place as the tale tells you.
The country is in the path of all the storms coming from the south west Atlantic area so if there is a hurricane or a storm down there it is bound to pop up in Iceland on its way across the Atlantic but .....
This statement of always raining is a myth. Half true and half false.
On the continents we are used to when it rains it pours and when it pours it rains. It is not so in Iceland. Iceland's rain is mostly showers. Short, drizzle from time to time during the day. If it rains at all.
Different layers of clouds pan the Icelandic sky. Perhaps this is the reason why photographers of all ages love to travel to Iceland. To live the adventure of the landscape and views being hugged by clouds carried across the sky by the ever present cool wind.
Clouds in a constant struggle with the sun rays trying to pierce.
On second thought the truth of the matter is that it does rain a lot in Iceland and unfortunately one never knows where and when. To travel in Iceland is a risk if you are looking for nice weather and sun.
We still have that to but no guaranties. What we can offer you as a guaranty is though, a place unlike anything you have seen, rain or sunshine.
Stillness and quiet, calm and catching and you will love it.
