What to do when suddenly there's an intense storm and you get completely soaked?

Get to a public toilet. Remove what you can and wring it out into the sink. Dry yourself as much as you can with toilet paper/paper towels. Then use the electric hand dryer (if there is one) to dry what you can.

That’s one of my favorite memories when I was researching in Brazil. It was dark and we were walking to our hotel from USP. Suddenly, there was a storm and we all got soaked and I said how I always wished to stay out during the rain instead of taking shelter so we just walked around and it was amazing.

When the clothes are already soaking wet I would pull them off and squeeze the water out. Depending on ambient temperature it could be a good idea to either try to rub your body a bit dryer or to dress again with the damp clothes.
