Unless I am going to be going somewhere that lacks a change of
clothes, such as work, I often just let the rain fall on me.  It's not
going to kill me, and often, especially if it's been really hot, is
quite refreshing.

So you're definitely not alone in this.  I welcome a good storm now
and again, to get myself really and truly clean.
