May I add to the discussion that it's also a very good idea to take some kind of water protection, not only for yourself, but also for your equipment, especially if your lens is not weather sealed.
I did a fair amount of damage to my gear at Le Mans. both bodies stopped working for quite a while, although both made a full recovery. The battery grip for my 20D still has not recovered, so I had to get a replacement, and also the AF on my Sigma 70-200mm stopped working during the rain, and only in the last couple of days re started.
So it's probably a good idea to invest a small amount into providing weather protection for equipment, because in the long run it could save quite a lot of money.
