I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you don't mean "rains more or less continuously for a couple weeks at a time during the year," and do mean "there are a couple weeks a year where it might rain." and in that context it makes sense.
I actually kind of enjoy riding in the rain many times, even on longer rides, and sometimes even when it's in the 30's or 40's. But only with proper fenders.
