Normal rain should'nt really leave watermarks (unlike tap water) ... and I'd tend to leave it,  as too much drying off everyday will inflict swirls over the long term.

+1 on this, I also gave the motor a little spruse up, I didn't use my usual LP and SN as I knew the heavens were due to open again I just used megs ultimate detailer....I find window water marks more of annoyance as wht doesn't tend to show water marks on the paint....
