Keep bike from getting soaked

Is there anyway to keep the seat from getting covered in water in the morning. The humidity in louisiana is so high that when it gets cold(50 degrees this morning and wearing shorts and short sleeve shirt felt very good) the seat gets covered in water and I have to wipe it off all the time. Can't cover scooter under carport or garage cause campus parking just isn't like that. It's out in the open

Lift the seat and put it 'inside' a large trash bag then close put the seat back down with the open end of the bag tucked in. The morning dew (not Mountain Dew
) will be on the bag and not the seat.

Another option may be a scooter leg cover- not specifically aimed at what you need, but should do the job
Or you could go for an outdoor cover.

Givi do the S210 waterproof seat cover which should do the job.
Other cheaper ones are available on flea bay.

Just wipe it off with your jacket sleeve and ride?

Jacket? What jacket? It was invigorating wearing just shorts and short sleeve shirt. Woke me up for an 8 am class.

How can you possibly get your fuel consumption all the way down to 76 mpgUS?

NB - I bought the cheapo £9 cover for the PCX from eBay and whilst it does a good job of making it inconspicuous and protecting from birdcrap and sun, I was sorely mistaken when I put it up expecting rain - it's not at all waterproof. I think I'll adopt the bin bag approach for when I'm out, and leave the cover purely for home (which is covered anyway).

That's what I'm trying to figure out

I think the trash bag suggestion is the cheapest route, but we purchased a 4 pack of 'one time use' survival blankets for $3.89 on Amazon.....sort of like those old time 5 cent rain coats, except we use them over and over by opening them to the size of the seat, opening the seat, folding them under the seat, and closing the seat with everything tucked under the seat. The seat then looks like a shiny space suit! :-)
