In the rain I usually go slower than normal, mostly because of braking distance. Same goes for snow. Only if I'm on a long empty stretch I may speed up to get home faster.
The worst thing about riding in the rain (for me) it the water on my eyeglasses. That can potentially be a safety hazard, and that is the other reason I slow down substantially.
