Exactly what my husband said when I told him about this. Are the outside plugs on a separate breaker than the inside lines? If so when you leave for the summer you could trip the breaker. In some areas of the US the outside plugs are required to be on a GFI breaker but only one place I have lived had this requirement. In that house the breaker would trip all the time because every time the sprinkler ran there was enough mosture to trip the breaker. We intalled plug covers with a rubber gasket and tight seal to fix the problem.
