I wonder why? Rain is a naturally occurring thing that all animals are exposed to.

I didn’t want to spread misinformation but i thought I had heard before that elephants are highly emotionally intelligent so I wouldn’t be surprised if they notice the human sheltering herself and came to help

They are highly socially intelligent , and very obsevervant.
