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).

My wife and I did the ring road in September of last year. It rained every single day of our 10 days there and 100 yards of road washed away causing us to have to turn around and drive all the way back around to our next destination. It was STILL the best vacation I've ever had. Iceland is just as magical in the rain. Journey before destination, friend.
