Stay Safe & Be Prepared

Stay Safe & Be Prepared – Essential Travel Tips about the weather, hunting, safety, travel, nature and respect.

The weather in the Faroe Islands is famously unpredictable, often shifting rapidly throughout the day. You might experience sunshine, rain, fog, and strong winds all in one day—sometimes even at the same time! This variability is part of the islands' charm but also means you should always be prepared for sudden changes, especially if you're planning outdoor activities.

For up-to-date weather information, you can check the current conditions at the bottom right corner of our website. If severe weather is on the way, we will post an alert on our site to keep you informed. Additionally, you can visit Faroe Islands Live to view live weather updates through webcams located across the islands. This can help you get a real-time look at the weather and prepare for any changes while you explore the beautiful but often unpredictable Faroese landscape.
