In my opinion it feels lots better than hiking in the Southwest, in 100 degree heat, with not a cloud in the sky. I really wish I was younger and could do more hiking like that.

The trick is to "layer" and wear light waterproof breathable rain gear.
DO NOT buy a rain jacket without a hood.

You will need something that will keep you dry on the outside from the rain, and not so waterproof that you will be drenched in your own sweat.

Aggressive tread patterns on your hiking boots also play a huge part.

You want something that will give you traction, yet not constantly be caking on more and more mud.
