A couple weeks back the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Ravvi Dovid Lau, paskened that the special prayer for rain should be added to our prayers considering the dry winter. The Eida Hachareidis also called on people to add the prayer for rain to their supplications.
Rabbi Lau is now calling on the people with the psak to NOT daven for rain at this point.
This should not be confused with praying for the rain to stop - he did not say that. The rain can continue naturally without our intervention via prayer.
Rabbi Lau issued a psak today saying the prayer for rain is no longer needed, consider the past week of good rains making up for a lot of the shortfall. The prayers for this are no longer needed.
