I think the premise of the question is  incorrect.  Sukkos falls late-ish 
once in a while only because we  stuck in an extra month to make Pesach fall late 
so that Pesach would be in the  spring and not in the winter.  However 
normally Sukkos is an autumn, not a  winter, festival, and the calendar is so 
arranged that it normally is not [yet]  the rainy season when Sukkos comes.  It's 
/not/ "supposed" to be a holiday  of the rainy season.
