The climate of Reykjavik is not as cold as its northern location might lead one to expect, with an average winter temperature comparable to New York City. The weather in Reykjavik is influenced by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and because it is on the coast the city also experiences frequent gales. The city also has plenty of rain, with few dry days in the year; the sunniest season is springtime.
