Very, very wet.

It's been raining a lot here lately (Plum Rain season, from June-July) but this morning it wasn't so I decided I'd ride in. Weather forecast seemed to suggest thunder showers later, but nothing serious. Got half way to work when the skies opened up. The rain was so heavy that I got absolutely soaked, even with my rain coat. Got to work and discovered that my panniers weren't as waterproof as I'd hoped, so my change of clothes was damp. Not a great way to start a day with no completely dry clothes, but I kept happy and had a great day anyway. Learned that from now on, no matter what the weather forecast says, I'll put my clothes into a plastic bag before putting them into the pannier. Better safe than sorry.

It stopped raining some time after lunch, but then started up again when I was about half way home (though thankfully no where near as heavily as in the morning. )
