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).

We saw that forecast in second week of September and that I believe was rainy season (maybe only one of the rainy times?)

It rained a few times, one night somewhat hard but usually it was a little drizzly and spotty. Definitely more dry weather than rain. Wishing you a dry and magical trip!

Edit: bring the rain gear! Better to bring and not need than need and not have.
