We've noticed that in Florida, at least during our stays, that the afternoon 3 o'clock rain only lasts about a half an hour or more. We just tend to plan accordingly, either waiting it out at our resort till we go back, or ducking into an attraction or grabbing a meal, and then the rain is over and the humidity comes out with a vengence. If the forecast calls for an all dayer, we take our ponchos or blow off the day and head to DTD for a movie, FW for pizza and beer, CR for the gameroom or stay at our resort and swim, if there's no lightning. Many otions on the poncho thing and ours are very big and roomy but a b....... to fold after wet and a pain to carry then, about a last resort thing.
