Month by month from Singapore
No fare history on SIN–KEF yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.
Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in SG as well as at Reykjavik, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.
How busy it gets
The year in Reykjavik
The climate in Reykjavik features cool temperatures year-round, and while summer is the best time to visit, late spring and early autumn can also be pleasant. Expect rain throughout the year, especially in winter.
| Busiest |
mid May to late Aug — This period features the best weather, with longer daylight hours and milder temperatures.
|
|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
early Apr to mid May — This time is great for avoiding the crowds while still enjoying improving weather.
early Sep to late Sep — September can still offer decent weather and fewer tourists, making it a good time to visit.
early Oct to late Oct — October sees decreasing tourist numbers with autumn colors, yet it can turn rainy.
|
| Watch out for | winter storms; haze |
Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
