Your GFCI outlet may be tripping after rain due to water getting into the outlet or its wiring, causing a ground fault. This can trigger the GFCI to trip as a safety measure to prevent electrical hazards. It's important to have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the outlet to ensure safety.

The GFCI on the exterior hot tub trips when it rains?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI) may trip in outdoor installations during periods of high humidity, including rainy days. The problem is mostly associated with the use of electrical boxes that lack adequate protection of the supply wires against humidity. Unless the problem originates with the tub's internal wiring, and that needs to be corrected, the use of NEMA 4X (water-tight) enclosures instead of NEMA 3R (rain-tight) types help control this problem.
