Last week we had cruddy weather, but I vowed to bike at least to the bus daily. I managed. Once on the bike it didn't seem as bad as it was when looking out the window. This week is really cruddy. It's hot and humid right now with thunderstorms predicted for later. I'm okay with rain, okay with cold and hot, but I'm not okay with thunderstorms for a 28 mile commute.

One thing I've found about riding in the rain is that it's best not to overdress. I wear a lycra undershirt (long sleeves), regular jersey on top, very light (not waterproof) windbreaker over that. Keeps the water out fairly well and breathes. I don't wear raingear because I end up wetter inside from sweating. Bleh!

Yeah, the weather is cruddy and discouraging. But give it a shot - at least a few miles, and see how you feel.
