Just checking it is not cats and dogs.

May not be rain, could be a drop of water sprayed from somewhere and they are just checking. No reason for the sticking out the hands, besides that someone really stupid may have done it years ago and everyone now follows by habit.

lol! Good question.
I think the first part may be because they want to check no one is throwing water at them, then stick out their hands to see how hard it is raining. Suppose you can just look!

Maybe before they assumed it was raining and got wee'd on so now they check just in case :)

Why do people point to their wrist when they ask you if you have the time? Same reason, probably!
