No gloves, just VERY Careful.

Heck I did some exterior lighting at a place in the rain. Call me crazy, YOU'RE RIGHT.
Just a gentle drizzle and part of it was under a canopy (leaky canopy), but we couldn't find the breaker.

PS I have an electrician friend that does touch the wires to check them, he's been burned slightly a time or two, but never really zapped.
