Default Porch light keeps blowing bulb

About every 5th time (+/-) the light is turned on the bulb blows.
Sometimes it can go a dozen times, sometimes just a couple times.
There are other lights on the same circuit and they don't experience
the same problem.

I'm going to get into it this weekend to check the line voltage and
make sure all of the connections at the light and switch box are
secure and insulated but I can't imagine a loose connection or even
a short would blow a bulb (am I wrong on this?).

What else should I be looking for?

Thanks in advance!

Possibly water leaking into the fixture?


Would this cause a bulb to blow?
