This observation made me smile. I'm just wondering if you've ever been to the tropics? I believe at the time of the summer solstice, the Southern Icelandic sun manages to rise as high as a meagre 49.3 degrees up in the sky in which case I find it hard to see how it could get as hot as in a tropical location when the sun is at its full stature of 90 degrees overhead. Which, in the right conditions with high humidity, can lead to suffocatingly humid heat indices well over 40 degrees - hot indeed. Or maybe you were referring to what those in the tropics would refer to as their Winter nadir? :-) “…and when we manage that, the sun can get just as hot as in any tropical resort.”

Good to hear you're one of the best Europe has to offer (I knew you were for Nicelland but ALL Europe too!!??). You deserve this honor and much more; we never hear much about what's happening with the melt-down of Iceland's financial machine so I've been reading you like mad. I can even say, "I knew you when. . . " last summer when I was getting (real) weather reports for our stop in Iceland on a cruise. Congrats!!

I don´t think it needs any translation. Congrats on everything recent (Huffpo!) and to come. Oh, and p.s. you must get the "star treatment" from time to time from your lovely EPI ... :) “Sumarfríi” is popping up everywhere on FB status updates! I don´t think it needs any translation.

I have never experienced such a great number of calm and really hot days in a row. And it seems to be going on... Spending time outdoors with such a great weather under clear blue skies makes Iceland's predicament appear completely surreal. And congratulations for the schedule that lies ahead.

I'm not complaining since hot and sunny would make for a stinky mess due to a garbage strike. yuck) weather is ok but this kreppa sucks. I would comment however:
