Great stuff. When it’s raining I wear as little as I can... as long as there’s no blue flashing lights I’m good 🤣. The problem with a jacket is that you’re then likely to get wet from the inside, especially in warmer weather. I love getting drenched out there, and there’s always a towel in the car and a warm shower/bath waiting for me when I get home. If you’re wearing technical fabrics they dry pretty quickly if the rain stops too... apparently under armour have a fabric that dries in 6 minutes, not seen it on sale yet though.

like UnfitNoMore , I am a fan of running in the rain without a jacket. I do have one but it's like running in a sweaty plastic bag! As a runner I would suggest that you try and embrace as many different types of weather as you can, you will meet them all eventually! :)
