Faroe Islands in September
Great time to visit
September offers a nice balance of decent weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices. The returning storms add drama to the landscape without making travel impossible.
Weather
September ushers in autumn with shorter days dropping to 12 hours and cooler temperatures. The legendary Faroese storms start returning, but between them you get stunning clear days with dramatic lighting. Rain increases but isn't constant yet.
