A general overview
The year was generally favourable and warm. In the South and West the temperature was about 1.1°C above the 1961-1990 normal and 1.3 to 1.8°C above normal in the North and East. The average temperature in Reykjavík was 5.4°C. It ranks as the eleventh warmest year in Reykjavík since the inception

was unusually light. The barometric pressure reached the highest annual value on record. The climate was very favourable and windstorms markedly fewer than usual.

The average temperature in Reykjavík was 5.9°C, 1.6°C above the 1961 to 1990 mean, and
has only once been higher, 6.0°C in 2003. It has twice before been equally high as now, in
1939 and 1941. The temperature has now been above average (1961-1990) for 15 years in a
row. Nine months registered above average temperatures, three were below. January had the
largest positive anomaly, almost 3°C/media/vedurstofan/utgafa/skylduskil/ved-eng-2010.pdf
temperature range can be
explained by faster increase of low and extremely low temperatures during cold season as
compared against relatively slow increase of extremely high temperatures in summer. The
simulated warming in the annual minima temperatures is projected to be twice larger as compared
against warming in the annual maxima (Fig.1b-c).
