Hello,
I have my mind set on trekking the annapurna circuit starting on june 10.(ish) and hoping it isn't pouring yet then. Obviously not a popular time because I haven't found much information regarding travelling at that time.
So will I be needing a sleeping bag, and if, how warm one? I would also have to buy a new rucksack because my current one doesn't allow attaching sleeping bag to the bottom.
Thanks!

If you are teahouse trekking the main reason to carry a sleeping bag is hygenic, regardless of season; it is simply nice to have once own bedding instead of the blankets that are provided. They are not washed too often.

Ok, thanks. I will probably manage with just a sleeping bag liner then. I thought that maybe the tea houses in higher areas don't have enough heating or sumthing..

They don't. Bring a sleeping bag.
I have never trekked in summer but I would assume it gets quite chilly at nights
even then.

It can get cold, quite cold at times. Lodges give you blankets, but the higher you go the grottier they are. Take that sleeping bag.

Get an inexpensive light sleeping bag, not much more than a liner and use it for picknics, a bed cover or more if hygiene is a problem and it will be when the weather is warmer. Its very hot in the day time so dehydration and sunburn will be major issues. June will be hot and humid so back some bug repellent for you and the bed.
