| I would not worry about the rain. I water in my greenhouse with a hose end sprayer, and I definitely don't worry about water in the leaves. Plants that are stressed or severely under lighted, are in a weak condition and may get fungal/bacterial problems even with out the water. We usually recommend that the leaves be dry before the temp starts to fall, just because it lowers the chance of infection.
I just finished spraying all the plants in my GH with worm tea and the instructions say to do it late in the day to avoid denaturing by the UV, so they all went to bed wet. Not worrying. I have plenty of air movement, and no doubt lots of left over systemic fungicide all over everything.
