Question: When should Salatul Istisqaa be performed?

Answer: Salatul Istisqaa is a Salaah that is performed to seek rain at a time of severe water shortage: when rain has been withheld and there is insufficient water in the rivers and dams. [Radul Muhthar Vol 1 Page 883]

وشرعا: طلب انزال المطر بكيفية مخصوصة عند شدة الحاجة بان يحبس المطر ، ولم يكن لهم ادوية وابار وانهار يشربون منها ويسقون مواشيهم وزرعهم، او كان ذلك الا انه لا يكفي، فاذا كان كافيا لا يستسقي كما في المحيط ( رد المحتار ج1 ص 888)
