The maritime climate makes the weather quite unpredictable, changing quickly from moments of sunshine to misty hill fog to showers. The sun may be shining on one side of a mountain range, while it’s raining on the other side. Temperatures are relatively stable, varying from an average of about 3°C in January to about 10°C in August. The oceans around the Faroe Islands are kept free of ice by the temperate Golf Stream. The air is always fresh and clean, no matter the season.
