For the camera, get yourself some of these

You look a bit silly with a plastic bag over your camera, but you can keep shooting even if it's pretty torrential, I took some to Havana with me and they were a god send. I dry out pretty easily, but the camera doesn't!

how about a Storm Jacket?

Is something like that ok for bodies and lenses that are not weather-sealed?

A good tip is to use a lens hood (and filter) with the rain cover, it'll give it an extra bit of room when it's rainy and windy
