It's the wrong sort of rain.

Don here it was the wet variety, and many inches of it, over the past

Ah, you see, that's the problem - the rain was wet! Because the ground
is so dry and caked hard in so many areas, the rain needs to be only
damp to give it a chance to soak in. Wet rain just runs off.
