When it's a mild rain are the Lions moving or staying?

On a constant mild rain, will the Lions continue to move searching for whatever..., or will they sit and wait for the rain to stop? Trying to figure a hunt strategy.
Thanks for your input.

Where I'm at they are less active, but not shut down by any means.

Constant and mild were the two key word to me. I have found lions quite active during periods of mild easy rain or snow, and I always thought like a lot of archery hunters it really helps muffle the sounds of an approaching predator and also causes the prey species to huddle a bit more in sheltered areas.JMO
Large traveling toms make no sense what so ever and I have seen them pick up and move out right in the middle of a storm or blizzard?

Our lions are real sissys. You won't find many fresh tracks when its still snowing. They get up and move right after it quits though.

I think they move in a mild rain. But the scent don't last so a guy might as well stay home IMO
