GO stocks the waterproof boxes:
EHU Plug and Socket Protector
I have not bought one yet, as I would place the joint high up on a hedge/railing/etc. so that it was not sitting on the ground or puddle.

The joint would be likley to be in the middle and nowhere near an handy hedge/railing/etc. Ok in theory, but both times I had to borrow an extension cable, the join was on the floor over the grass, handy hedge nowhere in sight!
As I had no waterproof box, I cut two slots into an empty ice cream carton so that the wires could exit at each side, then placed it over the top and put a couple of tent pegs either side to hold it down.
The warden said the waterproof boxes were a good idea, but not actually essential. He liked my idea with the carton, but it wasn't for the rain I put it there, but all the little kids who were messing with the extension lead, also it made the join more visible so that ppl wouldn't trip over it.
