Newbie, question on rain gear...

Im currently a cager, getting ready to move (back) to Florida this summer and am headed to a bike friendly city (Gainesville) and planning to ditch my car and use a bike as my solo means of transportation. My commute to work will only be 2 miles, most of that on a designated, paved bike path. However, being from Florida I know it can rain seriously hard so have been looking at rain gear. Looking for something that will keep my dry and also from overheating, I figure my actual commute shouldn't generate too much heat as it's only 2 flat miles and I'm pretty fit. I was looking at the Shower Pass Double Century EX and the Transit Pants to go along with it. As well as shoe covers and helmet cover. Anyone have experience with these? Will it be too warm in Florida? I don't know the shower/changing situation at work, although I imagine there are locker rooms since it's a hospital, so changing will probably be an option too, in that case tips of getting wrinkle free dress shirt and pants there dry? Saw something about using a garment bag rolled up inside a pannier.
Thanks!
