Taking Toby's advice I asked several experts. It turns out it is not as simple
as that and certainly not well-known. There is a "diyuk" from a Rambam that
it is the first night only however many rishonim disagree and say the
curse is if
it rains any time on  succot (so we are both right -)

Rabbi Leff in discussing the issue was bothered by the olei regalim,
since it should
be a curse the whole time since the olei regailm are bothered by the
rain. His answer
was that according to Rambam once it is a curse the first day the rest is a
continuation of the main problem
