Author: lemme

Description
Dry Rain is a phenomenon that affects survivors' vision and hearing like an illusion, causing survivors to feel as if they are hearing or seeing “rain” wherever it occurs. The “rain” that occurs ranges from drizzle to thunderstorms but never causes harm to survivors because the “rain” is not real, therefore survivors who are in the area of the phenomenon will still feel dry even though it is raining.
This phenomenon can occur anywhere and anytime, regardless of whether it is an open area or an enclosed space, the coverage area is also not too large so it is similar to local rain, and the duration will usually only last less than an hour. When Dry Rain occurs indoors, the water seems to come through the ceiling along with the wind. Whereas if it occurs outdoors, Dry Rain will look like it is falling from the sky regardless of whether or not there are clouds in the sky. Dry Rain also does not cause flooding because it looks as if all the rainwater is absorbed into the floor even though the floor is very unlikely to absorb water.
In addition, this phenomenon will also not wet the survivors or items within its coverage area, uniquely observers will see all objects subjected to rainwater look wet and even the survivors inside will look soaked. But when the phenomenon ends, everything will return to dry as if there was never any rain.
This phenomenon is known to be quite deceptive to new survivors who think there is real rain happening somewhere, and sometimes this phenomenon can also appear at unexpected times and locations, which is known to be quite annoying for survivors. Many survivors state that this illusory phenomenon is more of a nuisance than a threat due to its random nature and the sensation is considered quite real, however experienced survivors will not mind Dry Rain too much if it suddenly appears above them. In fact, every appearance will usually be taken as a good sign because rain has been considered a blessing from the sky. Those who long for Earth-style rain will also feel grateful that they can still feel the rain even if it is fake.
Frequency
Dry Rain is not known to occur very often and can occur anywhere randomly, but this phenomenon is noted to only appear in areas where the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold and with humidity that is neither too dry nor too humid. It is not known what the exact cause of this phenomenon is due to its random nature so its occurrence cannot be predicted at all.
Do's and Don'ts
As this phenomenon is not harmful at all, preventive measures are not necessary.
