The best time to visit Hvalba is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.
During this period, temperatures are at their highest, typically ranging from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), making it comfortable for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the natural landscapes. The extended daylight, with nearly 24 hours of light around the summer solstice, allows for more time to experience the region's beauty. This season is ideal for travelers who want to make the most of their visit without the concerns of harsh weather.
Travelers interested in birdwatching will find the summer months particularly rewarding as many seabird species, including puffins, are nesting in the cliffs around the Suðuroy region. Additionally, local events and festivals are more common during this time, offering a chance to experience the Faroese culture.
While summer is the most popular time, those seeking a quieter experience and don't mind cooler temperatures might consider late spring (May) or early autumn (September).
