I wouldn't be so territorial as to consider it "my part of the world," but when it rains, I generally use a poncho. I've considered getting a rain suit with pants, but that might be too hot. I wear shoes that don't absorb water, and I squeeze out my socks if they get soaked. I carry clothes to work and change when I get there, so I use a strong, waterproof bag to carry them. Thick garbage bags are good because you can throw them away and replace them cheaply when they start to wear out. I like good waterproof gear, but it irritates me when it starts to wear out after it cost so much.
