Welcome back AYC. Mashiv Haruach and Tefillas Geshem are not asking for rain (Gemara in the beginning of Ta’anis). They are just mentioning the Koach of Hashem. However, it is inappropriate to mention such a Koach at a time when rain is a Siman K’lalah. Even if you sit in the Sukkah on S”A in CHU”L, it’s not a Siman K’lalah if it rains. Therefore, we start saying Mashiv Haruach on S”A even in CHU”L.
