Warm weather rain gear questions for the UK

It's starting to get too warm to wear WPB jackets while hiking for the most part. Anyone know what's a good option to keep stuffed in your pack 90% of the time that's useable in emergencies if you get injured or it's significantly colder than expected?

Is a poncho or a cheap pacamac/frogg toggs style jacket a good option? Or should i invest in something a little fancier?

Currently my only waterproof jacket is a Torrentshell which is too heavy/bulky for me to want to carry it in my pack all day and never use it but i don't want to put myself/others at risk by taking no rain gear.

First time in the Xmid Solid 2

Slightly wank weather stuck in the middle of a cloud but the Xmid 2 was quick and easy to set up and held up well in 25~ Mph wind. Forgot my gloves so was very grateful to have a tent so easy to pack down the next day as it was even windier in the morning and i could hardly use my hands.
