I think it's more about the abruptness of the rain. Over here, the weather gets so hot and humid and scorching, you may really be tempted to shed your clothes off because of the heat so you won't see the rain coming. Then well into the hike, three seconds later, the sky's pitch black and you're faced with torrents of rain.
But I do try to pack a little bag containing a raincoat these days. Just in case.

I figured it would be humid, it's the same here on the tropical north of Australia, right across the top end. Here where I live though, at the bottom, it's not humid, although we get temperature's up to about 47C in my area in summer.
