Editing Akureyri (section)

==Climate==
Akureyri has either the rare dry-summer [[subarctic climate]] ([[Köppen Climate Classification|Köppen]]: ''Dsc'') if the {{convert|0|C}} isotherm is used, or the very rare [[Mediterranean climate#Cold-summer Mediterranean climate|cold-summer mediterranean climate]] (Köppen: '''Csc''') if the {{convert|-3|C}} isotherm is used, with cold though not severe winters and mild summers. The snow cover starts forming in late October and melts in April, yet snow can lie on the mountain peaks around Akureyri for the whole year. Akureyri is a very cloudy town, averaging only 1,029 sunshine hours annually, with barely any sunshine between November and February (which is also due to the town's location less than 100&nbsp;km from the [[Arctic Circle]]), but precipitation is much lower than in southern Iceland because the prevailing winds are from the south – it is as little as a fifth as much as in [[Vík í Mýrdal]].
