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.

What will happen if you go out during a thunder storm?

No one can tell for certain what is going to happen. If it's raining, you'll get wet. If it's windy, you'll get blown about.
