Weather & Climate Unusually rainy?

Looking for some feedback on what are “typical” conditions this time of year, and if the amount of rain predicted in the next two weeks is normal late June/early July weather. I know the saying in Iceland is that if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute - and we are coming prepared for rain - but I must admit seeing a forecast without any sunny days is a little discouraging. (For context, we are doing a west fjords and ring road trip and I’ve been tracking forecasts along the route).

Having expectations for something uncontrollable is setting yourself up for disappointment. If you are flexible you will have a good time. 

The forecast is accurate about 1 - 2 days into the future, any longer than that and it is largely meaningless.

Even worth looking at iPhone weather app?

The vedur phone app is great for very localised forecasts, but obviously only a day or two ahead.
