Picture from Vedur.is Icelanders celebrate the First Day of Summer this Thursday. As seems to be so often the case there won't be much summer-esque on the annual public holiday. Snow of some sort is expected in all parts of the countries and the temperature will be around zero degrees Celsius. Icelanders can still find some cheering up in the fact that some sun is expected during the day.The First Day of Summer in Iceland is held on the first Thursday after the 18th of April. In former times, the Icelanders used the Old Norse calendar which divided the year into only two seasons, winter and summer. Although the climate in late April cannot be considered to be summer-like, after the long winter, Icelanders still celebrate this first day of "summer" with parades, sporting events and organized entertainment, held in various places around Iceland.
