) noted that Iceland had a maritime
climate that was much milder than its position on the globe might suggest. In
data from 1981–2010, Iceland annual average temperatures ranged from 6°C at the
south coast to 3°C at the north coast, with a substantially colder highland
interior. In comparison with the latitudinal average for the same period, the
coastal temperatures in Iceland are 8–10°C warmer

warming towards the northeast. The warming from
1961–90 to 2070–99 on an annual basis was about 1 K in the southwest of Iceland, but reached
2–3 K in the interior and on the east coast. Of the two emission scenarios used (A2 and B2), the
higher emitting one (A2) produced slightly more warming, but a very similar spatial structure. The
HIRHAM results also showed an increase in precipitation, with more

between 0 and 750 W m 2 along the coast, and down to -750 W m 2 at station locations in the
interior (not shown). These differences are of about half the magnitude of the absolute measured
values.

people to check with their home and workplaces and fix unstable hanging

During summertime tourists should bring a windbreaker, rainwear, a thick pullover (wool or fleece) and sturdy walking shoes. Travellers who are camping or heading into the interior will need warm underwear and socks, rubber boots and a warm sleeping bag.

2 Study area and data
2.1 River basins
The region under study is located in the East fjords and the surrounding area (Fig. 1). This region
is characterised by a complex topography along the coast, Vatnajökull ice cap in the southwest
and highlands in the interior. This leads to large precipitation and temperature gradients in the
region (Crochet et al., 2007; Crochet & Jóhannesson, 2011). Eight
