Abstract

The climate of the Lake Myvatn region is examined through the use of weather station data, using the years from 1971 to 2000 as a reference period. Variations in mean monthly temperature and precipitation at Reykjahlid (Myvatn) are compared with variations at seven other weather stations in north east Iceland. The area is drier and colder than coastal stations and exhibits a seasonal cycle in temperature that is larger than found at the coast. The temperature is significantly influenced by the number of sunlight hours only during the summer months. During summer, the influence of a sea breeze circulation can be clearly identified.
