I have had this in some rain, and mistakenly in a snow storm once. Snow is not advised obviously, but rain is certainly managable for this tent. In terms of "severe" rain, I would be comfortable in it if it was among some trees and not out in the open. With no wind combined with the rain it would be fine, but if the wind kicks up, you might get some rain splashing up a little from the ground since the rainfly doesnt touch the ground. The material is great as far as durability and repelling water. Its just that the design and structure isnt really designed for "severe" weather. But a normal rainstorm youll be fine.
