Row covers. Really large row covers. Consider growing in pots at least a
foot in diameter (30 cm).

Growing where? Northern alaska? Phoenix? Indoors?
It makes a difference.
BTW: avoiding overwatering is more important if you want a lots of
capsaicin.

sounds too wet for decent chilli peppers. indoors might be the way to go.
Or just select a pepper much hotter than desired (like habeneros) and
understand that the wet weather will make them more mild than usual.
