What do you wear/use that helps you keep dry in the rain? Any ways you improved your homestead specifically for rain?

I got soaked yesterday trying to adjust rain barrel overflow, and my wet clothes just stayed wet here in the house (despite the dehumidifier going).
Wet clothes is the hardest thing since we do not have a dryer, all clothes must hang outside.

In some countries that's possible, to wait for the rain to stop.
Here that's impossible. If I let everything in my garden go it's own way until the rain stops ... it will become a jungle!

I have some woven 100% wool skirts that fall below my knees (they are made in Scotland and are pleated--not a kilt but like it). These, paired with a coat/hat and wellies, keep me pretty much dry. I've found them in charity shops over the years and have three altogether.
I really like wool for rain.

In our current drought I defy the sky to get me wet. Soak me to the skin, I dare you! I will leave my favourite boots outside to hopefully taunt the gods to fill them with sky water.
