It takes a fairly storm rainstorm to disrupt the updraft and allow rain to hit the ground. It could also be raining but because of the hot air updraft, the rain evaporates before hitting the ground.
This is certainly an unscientific explanation, but it makes sense to me.

I saw a similar post theorizing that the heat from the densely-packed AC units could also be a factor. I used to think this was akin to a chem-trail conspiracy, but watching the weather patterns dissolve as they approach our area since moving here last June, I’d be interested in historic patterns before this bubble was built.
