Review of the All Things Iceland Podcast


Jewells is truly a gem!! This podcast provides such great information for those who are planning a visit to Iceland and for those who are intrigued but haven’t planned a trip just yet. Each episode provides the listener with the important FYI and the podcast itself focuses on a multitude of topics from visiting during a specific month to historical information about Iceland. I’ve always wanted to visit Iceland and after seeing Jewells in a documentary I started following her on instagram and was so happy to find out that she had a podcast!! I listened to a handful of episodes and decided I couldn’t wait any longer and so earlier this week I booked my first solo trip to Iceland and will be visiting in about 6 weeks (first week in October). It is evident that Jewells loves the country and wants to provide potential visitors with relevant and helpful information so that others enjoy the beauty and wonder of the land of fire and ice. Thank you Jewells for all that you do!

Weather in Iceland in June
June in Iceland marks the beginning of summer, although the term "summer" can be a bit misleading for those from warmer climes. The average temperature ranges from 9°C to 15°C (48°F to 59°F), but it can occasionally reach 20°C (68°F). Coastal areas, especially in the North, can still feel chilly due to the cold sea breeze. Rain is possible, but June is generally one of the drier months.
Day Light Hours in June
One of the most magical aspects of Iceland in June is the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun. Around the summer solstice (June 21), the sun barely sets. The sky remains light throughout the night, providing a unique and ethereal experience for visitors.June 1st –  20 hours and 6 minutesJune 15th- 21 hours and 2 minutesJune 30th – 20 hours and 54 minutes
