Don't bring any rain gear like a raincoat or even a poncho. Its much too warm for these. People use umbrellas, but often times people just run to their vehicle or from their vehicle to wherever they are going. A lot of times people just wait until it stops. It can rain for hours sometimes, but much of the time its a pretty short shower. And remember the rain is warm. You get a little wet, no big deal.
