What is the climate type in Iceland?

Iceland belongs to the sub-Arctic maritime climate, which is influenced by two distinct air currents, one is the polar air current and the other is the tropical air current. Another factor that affects Iceland's climate is the confluence of two currents, one is the warm current from the Gulf of Mexico near the equator, and the other is the polar current from East Greenland, which sometimes washes the ice floes in the Arctic Ocean to the northern and eastern coasts of Iceland.

The seasonal fluctuation of temperature and precipitation is mainly determined by the weather front active in the North Atlantic. The northernmost part of Iceland is close to the Arctic Circle, but it is much warmer than people think. The average annual temperatures in Reykjavik on the west coast, Curreri in the north and Vic in the south are 5℃, 4℃ and 6℃ respectively. The average temperatures in 65438+ 10 are 0℃, -2℃ and 1℃ respectively, and the average temperatures in July are all 1 1℃. In the northwest, there are about 100 days of snowfall every year, while in the southeast, there are about 40 days. The annual precipitation of some plateaus in the north is 406 mm, the annual precipitation of sunny slopes in some mountainous areas with perennial snow is 4 100 mm, and the average annual precipitation in the south is over 2050 mm ... Reykjavik has an average of 1 300 hours of sunny days every year. The northern lights often appear, especially in autumn and early winter. Icelanders often say to foreign guests, "Don't be intimidated by the name Iceland. Iceland should be called oasis and Greenland should be called Iceland.
