There is no doubt that the Faroe Islands are lovely: green, rough and windy. Most island tourists arrive between the beginning of July and the end of August. The Faroe or Faeroe Islands (in Faroese Føroyar) are 18 islands south of Scotland in the center of the North Atlantic Ocean and halfway between Iceland and Norway. The islands are Denmark's self-governing island territory, although they seek greater independence politically. The islands have nearly 50,000 inhabitants and their own language and culture. You're never more than 5 km (3 miles) away from the ocean when you visit the Faroes. Steep hills dominate the landscape and there are about 70,000 sheep and about 2 million pairs of seabirds, including the world's biggest colony of storm petrels.
The tourist season in the Faroese is very brief. It starts in May and finishes in September. Most tourists are coming by far from July to August. If you want to prevent the busiest season, in late May or early June, it's best to visit the Faroes. The Faroese climate has its own temperament and is much more unpredictable than the climate in adjacent areas.
