...In Peirush HaMishnayos, the Rambam states that it is a siman k'lala
if rains at "techilas hachag".  This has led many to speculate that
the siman only applies if it rains on the first night.  Others say it
is to exclude Shemini Atzeres.

I regret incorrectly attributing the statement in the last sentence to
RMBerger.

Apparently some authoritative sources interpret the Rambam in PH in a
way that the siman klala applies to all the days of Succot, as is
indeed stated in the mishna.
Nirin li divrei acherim.
