The best time to go to Gjogv is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.
During this period, the average temperature hovers around 10-13°C (50-55°F), making it comfortable for outdoor activities like hiking. The extended daylight, with nearly 20 hours of light in June, allows for ample exploration of the village's natural harbor, the iconic Gjógv gorge for which the village is named, and the surrounding hiking trails. This season is ideal for travelers who want to experience the full beauty of the Faroe Islands' landscape without the challenges of harsher weather.
For those interested in birdwatching, late spring and early summer (May to July) are particularly good. This is when many migratory bird species, including puffins, return to nest in the cliffs around Gjogv and the neighboring islands.
