It should be OK even in fairly heavy rain provided you put something on it to protect it- You should be able to get a Scotchguard type spray from a shoe shop, or the shop where you bought the jacket. Spray it in a light film all over the jacket, leave to dry then repeat. You'll need to retreat it every few months but it will help your jacket be more durable.

Yes, treat it and don't wear it in the rain whenever possible. Even treated, it can be marred by speckles if the rain saturates the suede.
