What's the weather like there in Iceland?

It’s always good to expect the worst here in Iceland, because it will deliver in most cases. But, to get you in the ballpark, here you can see a table with the average climate in Reykjavik. So, once you get away from the city, it will get a bit colder. Be careful, this does not account for the wind and the sideways rain.
