A polarizing filter is used to counteract the polarized light that causes 
the glare on smooth, non-metallic surfaces.  It is rotated till the surface
reflections are removed or reduced.  They often have a little handle
sticking out to use for rotating, or a knurled edge for easy grip to
rotate.

A UV filter is used to absorb UV radiation.  I'm not sure but I think that
is the same as a skylight filter (Someone correct me if I'm wrong....), 
which is often used as a protective measure over the lens to prevent 
scratching. 

You can often get some exciting effects taking photos in the drizzle.
I have a friend who is a professional nature photographer who
specializes in "dewey" pictures, taken at daybreak before the dew
evaporates.  So have at it!!!
