I had absolutely brutal “attic rain” in my 3 year old 2-story last year. It turns out my attic access which is in our walk in closet right off our en-suite wasn’t sealed worth a crap.

I added new weather stripping to it and put an old 30lbs dumbbell on top of it to add some extra pressure to seal it up and no issues this year expect a small area where the dryer vent’s warm air was seeping through the soffit and caused a little frost.

Might be worth getting an infrared thermometer and standing in the attic to check for hot spots, that’s how I found my issues.
