Will it ever rain on the island

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, will it ever rain on the Island? I want to catch a snail on one of the hibiscus bushes.

Best Answer

After about a month of Island trips I'm pretty confident it never rains on the island, even when it's raining at your town.

Instead, to catch a snail you'll need to plant a hibiscus bush in your town (they sell starter plants at the island shop sometimes, they cost 5 medals and come in assorted colors) and wait for it to rain, and you'll have a chance to see a snail. They seem somewhat rare but I have caught one using this method.
