As a seasoned television presenter, Karl Stefanovic knows the importance of being prepared for anything. 

But the Today host, 46, found himself in a rare predicament on Sunday as he got caught in a sudden downpour of rain without an umbrella. 

Karl was seen leaving his pal Richard Wilkins’ home in Sydney when an unseasonably intense shower suddenly descended from the heavens.

Chuckling at his bad fortune, the father-of-four made a mad dash for his Land Cruiser before hilariously jumping in the car boot for shelter. 

Despite his best efforts to remain dry, Karl’s could prevent his blue business shirt and black jeans from becoming completely drenched.

The unlucky journalist’s canvas sneakers also appeared muddied and soaked by the rain.

Meanwhile, Karl’s wife Jasmine Yarbrough was also spotted making a run for the car without an umbrella. 

The new mother squinted through the thick curtain of rain as she darted to the vehicle and jumped into the passenger’s seat.  

Despite the unfortunate weather, Jasmine still managed to look stylish in her camel coat, checked white blouse and black jeans.

She completed her look with a pair of embroidered mule shoes, and tied her hair back into a no-fuss ponytail. 

Elsewhere, Karl was spotted carrying his newborn daughter Harper to the car in a baby capsule.

The doting father ensured Harper was protected from the rain by pulling down the capsule’s protective visor.

Following close behind was a kaftan-clad Camilla Franks, who was seen pushing the bottom part of Harper’s pram with both hands.

The fashion designer, who is mother to two-year-old daughter Luna Gypsy, saw the humour in the situation as she giggled while trying to dodge the downpour.   

Nova FM radio presenter Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli was also in attendance at the luncheon, and was spotted racing out the front door towards his own parked car.
