Based on my experience here in sometimes rainy British Columbia these are my better
rain tolerant variants that have not given me nasty ruptures. They are :

Dark Portuguese         Salem Dark        LSU Champagne        Nebo  
Hardy Chicago             O'Rourke           LSU Tiger                   Florea          
RdB                              Enrico               Ginoso                    JH Adriatic                      
Rosetta                        Melanzana         Conadria                  Verte 
 
Hope others can chimed in theirs that holds up well to rain & ruptures. I have excluded
the San Pedro types like Desert King and Granthams Royal. By the way, Granthams Royal
is an awesome tasting coloured fig. More flavor over DK. My GR is still young and I hope
it is reliable and productive as DK. I trial this variant(GR) based on Jrice comments and this
could be a great addition to cooler zones in PNW. My GR came from Jon.

most of my figs last yr exploded. however, two didn't. CdDB and Kathleen's Black. both had small eye and even with endless rain, they survived without much problem. tasted good also. 

Paul,

I can verify that the following figs from your list also exhibit a rain-tolerance characteristic here in rainy, 30 degree temperature swinging North Florida:

Dark Portuguese
Hardy Chicago
JH Adriatic
LSU Champagne
RdB

I will also add the figs that follow with the caveat that they also have a high heat threshold to get premium, very good tasting fruit:

Black Bethlehem
LSU Scott's Black
Malta Black
MVS Black
Stallion

My limited experince in the humid gulf south says the short list begins with closed or tight eyed figs only. There is a great dedicted "closed eye" thread here somewhere. Good old fashioned celeste deserves a mention, along witth its offspring from the LSU collection mentioned above, to which I would add LSU purple. Alma is also a great choice.

I had an LSU Tiger split open last year. It was probably at least a week before it would have ripened.

Strange it would split like that. Was it a very hot spell followed by rain ? We had a horrible wet 2013 Sept and Tiger held
well. Was it a bad split ?

Last Sept is one of the wettest in 5 yrs. I lost a lot of figs due to ruptures with rain, especially Stella. Not a single Stella
fig was worth the risk to eat. The wasps had a great feast whenever weather was better then. So much Sept rain & it affected
the Salmon run as the fish head straight to the hatchery with higher water till mid Oct.

I'd like to add White Marseille, Malta Black, MVSB and Southern Brown Turkey.

there will be odd one or two that will blow up no matter what. i think as the tree mature, there is less chance of things splitting open.
