    The picture didnt capture what you are able to see. Where was the steam coming from?

    Check your coolant reservoir.
    Hard to see the steam or vapor, could be leaking freon.

    The rain could be getting heated up in the radiator fins and steaming off. This would be my first guess. If you hear a hiss with the steam, a punctured radiator, no noise just evaporating rain.

    You must have your defroster on. The steam is the rain water being evaporated off the a/c condenser.
