Unless you are just going to use the raincoat for a minute or two to pop across the road and back (in which case an umbrella would be better anyway), you will get just as wet from your own trapped sweat.
Just wear light clothes, a big hat, and sandals. Let yourself get wet, and you'll dry off in no time. Besides, it feels great.
Most tourists seem to spend half their time swimming, but when it rains, they all stay inside. I don't get it.
