In Canada, people do not run from the rain... if they are out and about and it starts raining, they just ignore it, they don't walk faster, rarely improvise coverage, etc
In Venezuela, my country of origin, people run from the rain like it's lava falling from the sky
Huh, thought everyone ran from the rain. I usually have a hat if I'm outside so the rain doesn't annoy me.
It really depends on what rain is like in your location in my limited experience. In the pacific northwest rain is usually a drizzle, it's fine, you don't run. In the american Midwest, you get a feel for the air pressure, listen for thunder, and look at the sky, then you make a comment about your prediction and keep going if you predict a drizzle but start running if it seems like a downpour.
Canadian here, from the wet coast. I've run in the rain before, but it needs to be monsoon level before that's necessary. Anything less is just meh.
