Best Answer

Thunder and lightening exist because of the electrostatic build up in large clouds.

These same clouds also contain lots of rain.

It is possible to hear the thunder from miles away even before the rain arrives.

If the clouds are passing your location, you may never get the rain.

Does it have to be raining for thunder to happen?

Assuming you mean does there have to be rain where you are for you to hear thunder, the answer is no. Thunder can be heard from quite a distance so the thunder may be happening a distance away where it's raining, and it not be raining where you are.There's also a phenomenon called dry thunder where there is rain from the clouds but it evaporates before it reaches the ground. This is more likely to happen in deserts and other arid places.
