This is the whole reason I don't worry about it.

That said, if it's just a passing t-storm, I'll wait it out if it won't make me late for work, but I will ride in it if necessary, and I've done so.

Now hail—I've been hailed on and don't care for that one bit at all. I will seek shelter from hail.
