Nobody is saying MAshiv haruach is a tefiallh for rain. Nonetheless Slonimer’s question stands even regarding MAshiv haruach, since Tefillah or not it is clearly tied to the “rainy season” Yet in the Southern Hemisphere it is recited during their summer.
If he has asked why In the Southern hemisphere do they say in pesukei dezimra “Hanosein sheleg katzamer” during their summer. Then your reply thatthis isnt a tefillah for rain/snow would be relevant. As of course it isnt, and we say it year round regardless of season.
This isnt the case for MAshiv haruach, which while not a tefillah for rain is only said during the rainy season
