Your fungicide instructions should include what to do in case of rain. Some products do require reapplying after rain, but with copper, too much can be harmful. When mixed with lime as a bordeaux mixture, it persists through the rain.

Modern copper fungicides usually can be applied every 7 to 10 days. I would follow the instructions with your product, though, as they vary. Here is some general information:
