May it could be explained in terms of vapour pressure. Since it is used for measuring atmospheric pressure, intense heat would increase pressure (more evaporation thus increasing vapour pressure), rainfall (condensation i.e, conversion of vapour to water) will reduce vapour pressure, consequently, decrease in atmospheric pressure.

As the pressure drops the saturation temperature of vapours goes down will start condensation thus an indication of rainfall.
