Talk to the runners who get it done in the new area. It's hard to recommend things when you're not there.
That said, I feel like most people train around the rain and/or just get pretty wet. I run in my fair share of rain, and I just go with clothes that I find are comfortable when they're wet. For me these are half tights, certain synthetic shirts, but mostly light weight wool shirts.
I only put on a waterproof jacket if it's really, really, really cold rain. Like in the 30s (F) and raining. Otherwise I would overheat and end up just as wet as I would if I went without the jacket.
Good luck.
^^^^ This.
Not much more I can other than to say I'd start by trying either those disposable food service worker gloves or the ones the doctors wear (powder free). I prefer the doctor ones because they have elastic at the bottom but at the same time, they don't breath at all (at least the food service work ones are a little bit looser fit). Put those on over top of your cheap running gloves and your fingers/hands will stay dry and warm.
I'm in the PNW and use these:
I've done this before and it works very well!

I meant to quote this... but it does work quite well. I have a lot of these at home for all kinds of stuff.
Got a huge box of vinyl gloves off ebay for like $20.
I live in a place that's rainy in winter, but the rain is usually light to moderate and never a true downpour. I wear run-of-the-mill gloves, fleece-lined or not. If it's heavier rain and very cold, windstopper gloves with dwr work very well.
any gloves should be fine. If its warm enough to rain, you either
1. don't need gloves, or
2. shouldn't be bothered if your normal gloves get a little wet. its not that cold to begin with.
Get wool gloves or some other material that still retains warmth while wet.

Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
