Weather in Reykjavik in June
June in Reykjavik is cool outdoor weather: usable if you dress for it, not a beach brief.
In Iceland, this is how Reykjavik actually wears June, not how a country centroid would. Compared with July and February, June sits in the middle of Reykjavik's year.

What to expect
Daytime
Cool days in Reykjavik: a jumper you can take off, a shell in the bag. Walking is fine. Lingering outside without a layer is optimism.
Mornings and evenings are colder than the postcard. Pack for both, especially if you leave the built-up centre.
Rain
June is on the drier side of the year in Reykjavik. Showers are possible. They do not define the month.
A shell that lives in the bag is enough. This is not January, and it should not be packed as if it were.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
A layer for cooler evenings
