When I am shooting cities at night or twilight, I'm always happy if there is a light rain or drizzle. The wet pavement or cobblestone glistens and reflects all the lights, and it enhances the photography considerably. It's necessary to protect camera gear from the water, of course, but the hassle of that is well worth getting great images.
The picture you see here was taken in the old town of Krakow, Poland. You can see how much more attractive this image is because the street was wet.
I now carry with me a microfiber cloth to wipe the water drops of the lens, and I use a clear shower cap to protect the camera. I find them in many hotel rooms, and they have an elastic band that goes over the camera and it hugs the body and a portion of the lens. You can see all the controls and work with them, and at the same time most of the rain stays off the camera.
