Hey, I live in Bergen and if you think you know rain, then wait until you get here:) Imagine standing in a shower in wellies and a gum jacket and gum trousers: that's exactly what it's like. But not to put you off, Bergen is beautiful and they say there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. So invest in a quality raincoat and a pair of waterproof boots before boarding the plane.
As a person who's absolutely in love with Bergen, think of Fløien as a starting point for some spectacular hiking trails, not as a destination. Take the Fløibanen (the funicular) up if you must but walk back down: it takes only about 30-40 minutes.
From Fløien, you can easily go up to mount Rundemannen and Blåmannen (a 4-year-old can do it) which takes about 3-4 hours both ways. If you're feeling more adventurous, you could also go hiking from mount Ulriken (there's a mountain lift that can take you there, called Ulriksbanen) to Fløien which takes about 4-6 hours. I've done it during one of those rainy days and it was still beautiful. Plus, if you go on a Saturday, a cosy mountain hut might be open.
You could also stay in town and see the touristy stuff like the fish market, Bryggen (do go inside!) and there are a couple of museums worth seeing: the maritime museum, for example, is nice: http://www.bsj.uib.no/
