Summer is coming
The First Day Of Summer is Today!
One of those fun traditions Icelanders celebrate every year is The First Day of Summer. On this day many children receive practical summer gifts like a bicycle or clothing. There are usually various events and parades for the whole family.
This First Summer Day is also a classic topic to banter and joke about since the weather is very unpredictable at this time ( like in all seasons in Iceland) Legend claims if the temperature drops below zero the night before the first day of summer, a great summer will be ahead. Sure it will. Well, there is a silent agreement not to check the statistics on that one :)
