When planning a trip to the Faroe Islands, the weather in the archipelago is a factor. The Faroe Islands lie where the warm waters of the Atlantic and the warm air above them meet cold air masses from the Arctic. This results in highly dynamic weather patterns, with strong winds, frequent rainfall, heavy cloud cover and dense fog. However, in the face of global climate change, the Faroe Islands are increasingly seeing numerous days with sunny and windless weather, associated with the highs centered between the Faroe Islands and Iceland.

The Faroe Islands is a land of variability, and it's worth being prepared for it. In autumn and winter there are storms, frequent rain, snow and periodic frosts. In summer, on the other hand, sightseeing can be hampered by fog.
