I don’t need a warm jacket. I need the bare minimum to keep me dry. I usually wear just a light breathable t-shirt under as I’m rarely stood still when I’m out and about.

Well shell jackets are variable at best. Pile and Pertex such as Buffalo will keep you bone dry when active, but warm. Same with Paramo. Rab Vapour Rise is much lighter than Paramo but will wet out over time, however when you're active it's not so much of an issue. Have you considered a waterproof poncho?! Very breathable!

Paramo or Rab Vapour Rise. Paramo you'll look like a bit of a twat, but you'll stay dry and warm (too warm). Paramo works best worn next to the skin, not always ideal
Forget shell jackets they're all rubbish IME
