When I woke up, it was thundering, with lightening and pouring rain at 40 F ( 4 C). I went about my normal routine and after a bowl of oatmeal and a pot of black cardamom tea, the thunder and lightening was gone, but it was still pouring. By the time I got my lunch together and dressed for the rain, it turned light, and stayed that way my whole way. Just wet is always better than soaked. I love it when I get lucky.
