Well the thing about Dublin at least, you're unlikely to get six foot snow banks, or Chicago style freezing winds. But it's got the most bland weather both summer and winter. Never been to Iceland, but I guess the clue is in the name there!
- thematrixturtle 4y agoOddly, Iceland rarely if ever gets really cold and even snow is mostly transient. Temps mostly hover between 0 and 10 C (30-50 F), and it rains quite a bit. It has often been suggested that the names of Greenland and Iceland should be reversed, and/or that "Greenland" was thus misnamed for marketing purposes to entice Viking settlers.
- vintermann 4y agoWith the amount of sunlight Reykjavik gets, "Greyland" might be more appropriate.
- pen2l 4y agoIceland is cold, but a very enjoyable kind of cold. There's this crispness in the air in Reykjavik which I always liked a lot. It's actually super fun to walk around the city or even away from the city. I dread the extreme winters of American cities though.
- rowanajmarshall 4y agoAssuming Dublin is pretty similar to the UK, it's the blandness that gets you. I'll take inconvenient variety over months of grey, dark dampness anytime.
- messe 4y agoSimilar enough, but tends to be ever so slightly more bland than even the UK. If I remember rightly Ireland has the highest lows and lowest highs of anywhere in Europe.
