It's just like any other motorcycle, so I don't see a problem with it.

Unless you're planning on fording rivers of course...

It also depends on your setup. A stock ruckus will do fine, if you have an aftermarket intake without a cover, it might not do so well.

x2, we ran into an un expected storm on one of our rides once and I had issues with water on the intake since Im not running the rear fender.

To fix that what I did was take a carpet deodorizer cap, bought a $3 magnet at the hardware store and ran a nut/bolt through it and slapped it on the filter... works great!

just as long as you dont have a modified intake you should be fine
and even if you do have a modified intake just get one with a cover or fabricate one

I rode my ruckus all winter long last season. At the time I had a stock intake set-up. It worked flawlessly and I never ran into a single issue. It saw rain, snow, slush, ice, and lots of subzero temps.

Ruckus' are little troopers!
