The pervasive martian dust everywhere is a very strong contraindication to rain. The reason we don't have dust that fine everywhere on Earth and in our atmosphere, is because we have rain. If there were rain of any sort on Mars - it would clear the atmosphere, and the fluid erosion would rapidly wash away the layer of fines that falls from the atmosphere over everything.
