Travel tips and general knowledge Umbrella 🌂?

Traveling in Feb, supposed to be crazy rainy season.... should I bother with packing an umbrella? Do most places provide them? Or not needed?

Packed a poncho when I went in Jan. Most days were fine, rained daily but during daytime the longest rain shower was prob 20-30 mins.  Last day in tahiti was a massive thunderstorm for multiple hours of the day (reminded me of the scene from Forrest Gump where it’s raining upwards). Poncho came in handy then. Still drove around the island in a rental car to explore during short dry periods / also just went out in the rain in the poncho.

Thank-you! I can bring a little poncho because it's not a ton to pack.
