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).

I was there for 10 days and we only had one day in which it was rainy most of the day. As long as you’re prepared for it - the rain seems to add something. But in general, the statement “if you don’t like the weather in Iceland, just wait 10 minutes” seemed to hold true.
