Recumbents in the rain?

Thinking of a recumbent for my commute, but have one burning issue.

Here in Vancouver, we get a bit of rain. Okay, a lot of rain.

Currently, I can stay quite dry on my DF with a poncho and booties. The configurations of bents that I have seen all look like it would be difficult to stay dry, especially with respect to having my butt so close to the puddles.

Can bents be ridden in the rain (without getting drenched) or are they fair-weather-only?

Thanks for any information.
