 Vm±20sin37°=20cos37° or  Vm=4or28m/s

The above values are velocities of man are two extremes one in the direction of horizontal component of rain and the other being in the opposite direction of horizontal component of rain. 
So it is possible to observe rain falling at an angle 45° with vertical by the man if his speed lies between 4 m/s and 28 m/s (both included).
