"Rain" here doesn't mean the same thing, I have found out:
When the air is so warm/humid, it is quite unsettled. So you can get downpours, but they are very brief, and very isolated. For example: I once had it happen, shortly after I moved here, that the rain was coming down as a solid sheet. I was stopped at a stop sign in a residential neighborhood. The sun was shining on the other side of the street. Freaky!
When they say "40% chance of showers" or something, that usually means that approximately 40% of people might experience some brief shower at some point. And then the sun comes back out. The rest of the people have dry/sunny conditions.
