The average rainfall for July and August in Ashford, WA near Mt. Rainier is about 2.15 inches each month.

I think it is wise to bring along some rain gear on a hike of the WLT even though it may not rain all that much. It rained two out of three days for me when I was on mt Baker this summer in late July. I was happy I brought my rain gear! I would definitly bring some sun protection even if you do not burn because the sun can cause dehydration and can make your trip less enjoyable.
