But then I wonder what is the highest ever on *Iceland*, does anyone
know? Quite another ballpark, I imagine...
But still not 12C I would think...?


I recalled a temperature of over 21C last year at Reykjavik and have just
checked. On the 11th June 2002 it reached 22.4C, the highest since 1995.

The highest temperature recorded in Iceland was 30,5°C at Teigarhorn
in eastern Iceland in june 1939.
