If you only had rainwater or water droplets falling on you while a monkey was sitting on a building, this by itself is not considered a rabies exposure. Rabies is transmitted mainly through the saliva of an infected animal via a bite, scratch, or contact with broken skin or mucous membranes.
Next Steps
No rabies vaccination is generally required for exposure to ordinary rainwater alone. If there was any actual monkey bite, scratch, or possible saliva contact with the eyes, mouth or broken skin, please seek medical care promptly for rabies post-exposure assessment.

According to cdc guidelines rabies spreads only through saliva or tears when it comes in contact to your tissues.
And even if you consider the urine infected it can not penetrate your intact skin so just don't worry about it.
Next Steps
do not panic. just wash that part and forget

An accidental fall of monkey urine on unbroken skin is not a risk for rabies.
Rabies is not transmitted through urine, blood, or feces.The virus spreads through direct contact with infected saliva or nervous tissue, usually via bites or scratches.
If urine touches intact, healthy skin, there is no risk of contracting rabies..... Instead there is a chance of certain bacterial infectious and leptospirosis.
Don't worry if skin is intact.
Next Steps
feel free to consult me on practo if you develop any symptoms like fever or cough

Rabies spread via scratch, bite or saliva of any rabid animal over any open wounds. So there is nothing to worry about any rabies infection in your case.
In case if you have any bite or scratches kindly scrub with dettol or wash with plain water for atleast 15 mins and review Anti Rabies Clinic

A water droplet falling on intact skin from a monkey, without a bite, scratch or saliva contacting your eyes, mouth or an open wound, is not a rabies exposure. Rabies does not spread through casual contact or through unbroken skin.
Next Steps
Wash the area normally. If there was any bite, scratch, or saliva splash into the eyes, mouth or an open wound, wash with soap and running water for 15 minutes and seek a rabies clinic today. For personal reassurance, book a Practo consult or visit Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.

Rabies spreads through saliva entering a bite, scratch, or broken skin. If only rainwater fell on you and the monkey never touched you, this isn't a rabies risk.
Next Steps
If you're unsure whether the monkey scratched or touched you, get it checked by a doctor for a proper risk assessment.
Health Tips
Please don't ignore an actual bite or scratch in future, even a small one needs medical review.
