between rain or no rain.


Dude, the inaccuracy of our measurements is bigger than that. Here,
read:

Accuracy: pressure .5 mb, temperature .25C, relative humdity 1.5%

And that's likely to be state-of-the-art. I don't know how many
operational radiosondes are using that sensor package.

Frankly, you shouldn't lose too much sleep over 0.19%
