Best Month to Visit Faroe Islands
Editor's seasonal guidance
Best: May-July (midnight twilight, puffins), September-October (moody skies)
Subarctic oceanic with constant wind and rapidly changing conditions
The Faroes experience all four seasons in a single day. Horizontal rain, fog, and gale-force winds are normal. But when the clouds break, the light is extraordinary — shafts of golden light pierce through dramatic cloudscapes onto green cliffs and sea stacks. The islands' latitude means extended golden hours in summer.
- Typically sunnier
- May, June, July
