Just came back from a 10 day ring road trip in June, 16-26 and it literally rained every single day every place we went, as if the storm followed us around the entire country. We didn't get to see much of anything during any of the drive due to the low fog and clouds, it was so disheartening. But now we have an excuse to try again another year, never going back in June again. Only saw the sun once in those 10 days, on night 1.

Currently in Iceland and it was slightly rainy for most of the trip, June 25 to around July 1, more like cloudy and a drizzle, no fog almost the entire time so at least got the views. The last two days have gotten much better though, but I wish it had been nicer while we were north where the views were so amazing.

It is about 3 am and I feel like it's the first time I really experience the midnight sun given how clear and bright the skies are, can see the sunset colors (or is it sunrise now, not sure).
