if you want to stop them getting hit you could buy a tarpualin,theyre pretty cheap and effective and should do the job

You can also bring the plant in during a heavy rain.
A tarp is a good idea too.
I usually put them in my house (during the day) and garage (at night, because it lacks light but has lower temperatures) when it rains

Good luck keeping your traps dry!

I moved mine in when they were announcing crazy winds or heavy rain.

I also take the opportunity to take empty containers out for free rain water

Unless there is like a 30 degrees difference, I wouldn't believe that the plant will freak out with the temperature change. In a sense it will be just for a few hours, temporary thing.

Well, it downpoured in San Diego last night and my VFT's were out. I brought them in and they are under my CFL. So don't worry harris, it will just drench em and then you don't have to water them
