What's the temperature like in Reykjavik during June?
The temperature is extremely stable in June with average highs of 12℃ and lows just 4℃ lower at 8℃. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Reykjavik during June?
June is typically the driest month in Reykjavik. On average, there will be 15 rainy days during the month, amounting to 24.4mm in total. That's much drier than we see in England during August, and therefore not something to be concerned about. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.
