Spring is showing its most beautiful side here in Stykkishólmur today. As of Friday, 10 April 2026, we are enjoying clear blue skies, crisp sea air, and wonderfully calm conditions across West Iceland and the Westfjords.

  • Temperature: 3.5°C
  • Cloud cover: 0% – completely clear skies
  • Wind: 12.6 km/h – light and comfortable
  • Precipitation: 0 mm

With zero cloud cover and exceptional visibility, today is perfect for soaking in Iceland’s dramatic coastal landscapes. The mountains look sharper, the ocean deeper blue, and the air feels wonderfully fresh.

What This Means for Your Trip

This is a day to be outside.

  • Scenic walks along Stykkishólmur’s harbor
  • Exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula
  • Photography tours and drone footage
  • Road trips between charming fishing villages
  • Sunset viewing over Breiðafjörður Bay

Aurora Forecast for Tonight

If you’re staying up after sunset, here’s what to expect:

  • Last measured KP index: 2
  • Real-time geomagnetic activity: 1.67

While tonight’s aurora probability is low, the completely clear skies mean that if activity increases even slightly, conditions are excellent for spotting it. With no cloud cover and minimal light pollution around Ourhotels.is properties in West Iceland and the Westfjords, you’ll have some of the best viewing conditions possible.

What to Pack Today

Even with sunshine, Icelandic air stays fresh in April.

  • Windproof jacket
  • Hat and gloves for evening outings
  • Sturdy walking shoes
  • Camera – today’s light is spectacular

How Long Should You Stay?
