Keflavik’s forecast for January
The month of January marks the height of Kef-
lavik's winter season with increased snowfall
accumulations and the lowest average temperatures
of the year.
The mean temperature during January is 32°F.
The average daily maximum is a cool 35°F, with an
average daily minimum of 28°F.
During the month winds prevail from the north-
west, however, southeasterly winds frequently
occur due to low pressure systems moving through
the Denmark Straits. The average wind speed for
the month is 14.7 knots, or 17 mph. Winds in ex-
cess of 21 knots (24 mph) occur more frequently
during January than any other month of the year.
The strongest wind gust experienced during the
month occurred in 1958 when a westerly gust of 73
knots (84 mph) was recorded.
Measurable precipitation is experienced on an
average of 19.2 days during the month. The month-
ly maximum snowfall for January is an impressive
66.6 inches. Average snowfall for the month
appears far more reasonable at 14.4 inches.
One of the more pleasant sides of January is
the increase of daylight hours throughout the
month. Bringing in the "New Year", daylight hours
will be four hours and 25 minutes. By the end of
the month, daylight increases to six hours and 57
minutes, a total increase of 12 hours and 32 min-
utes .

we can
change things.

With winter in full swing,
service people need to take
special precautions against cold
weather--at work and at play.
First, wear enough clothes. As
dumb as it seems, some people go
outside in freezing weather wear-
ing a shirt and sweater. After
long periods unprotected, they
lose too much body heat. So wear
enough clothes.
Another thing to do is wear a
hat. Most body heat is lost
through the head, so wearing a
hat helps.
Your feet are the most vulner-
able part of your body in cold
weather. Cold-weather footwear
tends to restrict circulation, so
exercise your feet and massage
them once in a while. Keep your
socks dry and change them often.
Army researchers say it's best
to vjear several layers of loose
clothing because air trapped
between the layers makes good
insulation. However, when you
start feeling sweaty, unzip, un-
button or take off your wrap un-
til you feel dry again. Wet
clothing loses its ability to in-
sulate.
