I’ll tack on a little more that might help you plan…
Those “dry spells” are often accompanied by high humidity and dew in the morning. With high humidity, the “drive” to lose water through transpiration is reduced, allowing the plant’s current “stockpile” of absorbed water last longer.
If you can place your plants where high humidity and somewhat reduced light is available, they’ll be less stressed by the “man made drought”.
