It's called a GFCI..Ground fault circuit interrupter...Probably got wet in that rain today..No biggie....Check the breaker in the panel, look for one marked either lanai or gfci...Reset it and come back to the switch..push the button and wallah....Unless the outlet is still wet then it will just trip again...
