I wouldnt worry too much about that Bud. Right now we're having rain everyday from later afternoon til the evenings. If I have blooms i usually just give them a gentle shake to get away excess water off them at night. Depending on the direction the vanda is growing i might give it a quick tilt to get out any settling water. This last step isn't necessary every night though as the problem is cooler nights and stagnating water. If the rains are continuous not too much to worry about unless you have a medium that isnt free draining.
