"Sorry I’m late. Did you get your rain? What is virga?"

Virga is rain that evaporates again on the way to the ground. Think "virtual rain".

It shows on radar, but pedestrians stay dry.

The same phenomenon occurs on Venus, in case you're interested, but what's falling there isn't water.

So on Venus, it would dissolve your hair but you’d still have to water the eggplant.

Oh, FReep, Frank’s up the stairs again.

It shouldn't bother the pedestrians on Venus if it doesn't reach the ground.
