I believe the answer is:

ran

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hurried out of the rain' is the definition.
'ran' can be an answer for 'hurried' (running is a kind of hurrying). I am not sure about the 'out of the rain' bit.

'how one' is the wordplay.
'how' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'one' becomes 'an' (I've seen this in other clues).
'r'+'an'='RAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Entered (a race)" , "Sped" , "Was a scooter" , "was in charge" , "Flowed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
