Iceland benefits from the gulf Stream, keeping temperatures moderately warm given it's lattitude.
The January average temperature is 2 degrees and in July it is 12 degrees.
The highest ever recorded temperature is 21 degrees.
I know this because on a coach trip out of Reykjavik the guide told everyone on the coach that these temperatures did not take into account the wind chill.
As I stood admiring the view of the Gullfoss waterfall... A partly frozen over waterfall... with the wind blowing straight into my unprotected face, the wind chill was apparently minus 18 degrees.
No wonder my cheeks are glowing red!
