On the regularity view, for instance, it seems there could be a constant conjunction between the barometer falling and it raining, the barometer falls before it rains, and the rain occurs in the same place as the barometer. The case seems thus to satisfy the regularity definition of cause. Similarly, one might argue that rain counterfactually depends on the falling of the barometer: it doesn’t rain unless the barometer falls.
