years. The temperature was above the 1961-1990 normal, about 0.7 to 0.9°C in most areas,
but 0.3 to 0.6°C in the Southeast. The highest temperature of the year was measured at Burfell
in the southern inland on 23 July, 25.9°C and the lowest at Kolka in the central highlands on 2
January -23.0°C.

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
