Local weather character in Reykjavik
- Wind direction decides everything: northerly flow off Esja is cold and dry, south-westerly brings mild air and steady rain.
- Gusts are routinely far stronger than the mean wind as lows sweep into Faxaflói.
- Snow and rain alternate rapidly around freezing; KULING uses measured temperature to resolve the phase.
