I would think a shower (rain) could be of any intensity, but a chubasco is a downpour.
ducha de lluvia ligera

"Duches" is not a Spanish word.
Perhaps you're thinking of "Duchas", which means "showers".... but only in the sense of a bath shower, not rain shower.
There are several words for rain in Spanish:
Lluvia: rain
Aguacero: downpour
Chubasco: downpour
Chaparrón: heavy downpour
Lluvia intensa: heavy rain showers
Llovizna: sprinkles
Palo de agua: downpour
Tormenta: storm
I'm sure there are some other regionalisms and idioms that scape me just now.
