Not usually: Rain or wetness by itself cannot usually make you feel sick. If you have a virus and stay wet for prolonged period the illness can be worsened. An experiment was performed many years ago on people that were kept wet and cold for prolonged periods of time. Some people were innoculated with virus while others were not. Only people with virus on board became ill.
