if you mean as in seasons, there is generally a wet and "dry" season and these can change from year to year, especially in places that are effected by things like "el nino" (like here in South America). othere weather related things such as systems can also bring prolonged rain in a "dry"season (which are still wet but less wet). same the other way with dry periods in a wet season
also something i note is that when there is a full moon, it rains 2 days before and 2 days after, not sure why, but it does.

Of course they can. As trees are chopped down and burned, it causes a minute shift in the weather pattern (caused by heat of the fires). You need to understand these are not small fires, but large enough that they have been photographed from the space shuttle.

After the fires are out, you still have a shift because there's no cooling effect from the forest canopy. When the rain falls in that area, you also have heavy soil erosion because there is nothing to keep the rain from hitting the ground full force or enough vegetation to hold the soil in place.
