I got the day off and my floor prep is done .It's raining outside. Can I still put down the polyurethane? Or should I wait?

Is the humidity now (and until cured) within the manufacturers specs?

I don't not know nothing about coatings- But I think I'd wait.

The reason you don't want to install coatings in the rain:

A fine accumulation of moisture can occur. So slight you may not realize it's there. This moisture can act like a bond breaker, causing failure. Wait it out.

Wait. A lot of moisture could cause issues with curing and or adhesion.
