When I was vacationing in Panama City (Florida, not the country) It would rain for 5 seconds, then stop, then rain again for another 5 seconds then stop again... and it was actual rain and not mist which made it even weirder.
(not related When I got to the hotel (Holliday inn Sunspree Resort) and noticed the weird rain pattern, I saw a Racoon on one of the Palm-leaf huts by the pool. It was soo cute! <3 but I bet it would tear my face off if I got close to it.
