how much more rain are you gonna get? if you don't have a risk for mold id say hold off and let them dry out a bit cuz if you chop now you may even encounter mold while drying.

you can harvest while its raining it really wont make a diffrence. i did so myself to avoid my plants from being weighed down and breaking. just shkae them off and have a good drying spot! good luck!!

Id cut them down. I just harvested all of my plant over the last 4 days and its been pouring down rain each day since then. They might have been able to go another 5 days or so but my WhiteRhinos started getting mold all over my nice tops and I didnt want to risk the same thing happening to my blueberries so Ive been cutting everything down. Better to get them in a couple days early instead of loosing all kinds of bud to rot. By the way this is the first time ive brought my weed in wet and it hasnt had any effects on it drying.

Get a fan or a heater or something to dry the water fast or the mold will just keep spreading.

Don't cook it, but get the surface dry asap.
