Looking at a local weather forecast and it tells me that Thursday is going to be warm, bright sunshine, no cloud with a 30% chance of rain.........What
Didn't know that rain could fall without a cloud being present, so is this a new
phenomenon or is the weather forecaster just covering their backsides?

Believe me it can happen, without a cloud in the sky (or at least the area of sky that you can see). We were sitting on our roof terrace, under a completely blue sky, with a hot sun, and suddenly it started to rain. Wet rain, not just a 'mist'! We looked up to see where it was coming from, and nothing was visible at all. Somehow it rained out of a totally blue sky, and it was enough to wet our roof terrace and cause water to run down the roof tiles.

Sorry folks, there's only one place that rain comes from and that is clouds. The cloud reaches a point when it cannot contain the moisture that formed the cloud any more....and it falls as rain.
That's how it works.
Valda....you might want to have a word with your neighbour about turning down his lawn sprinkler! 
according to the paper were already into the wettest June on record
