Here are two other ways to check if your body is dehydrated. Try this skin test. First, use two fingers to grab a roll of skin on the back of your hand (between where your watch sits and where your fingers start), advises Higgins.

October is our wettest month, and Iceland gets an average low of 37Â°F (about 3Â°C) and highs of 45Â°F (7Â°C). Expect lots of rain, usually drizzle. The average amount of rain is 4 to 5 inches, or 101-127 mm. But as always, the rain amount depends on which part of Iceland you are visiting.
The official Aurora season in Iceland is from October till March but like with so many other things that have to do with Icelandic nature itâs not something you can say with any certainty. For example, the first Northern Lights of the season in ReykjavÃ­k this year were seen around the middle of August. The ideal conditions to see them are when itâs cold and dark outside and the Aurora activity is high. The cold per se is not an factor but the sky has to be clear which it usually is on very cold nights.
