The bug
When rain or snow fall all the way to the bottom of the world and hits Y=-64, the particles disappear. This is inconsistent with water droplets, lava droplets, and all other particles, which do not disappear after Y=-64.
How to reproduce
Create a default superflat world.
Dig four blocks down in one spot (through the bedrock floor)
Set weather to rain or thunder
Notice how the rain stops at Y=-64
Dig three blocks down in a different spot (just above the bedrock floor)
Place a water bucket or lava bucket down on top of the bedrock here
Enter spectator mode by running
/gamemode spectatorGo beneath the bedrock, and notice how drops do not stop at Y=-64

Any other particles render below Y=0, I'm pretty sure. It is also for firework particles and particles that are created when a player falls on a block.
I can confirm for 1.16.3 also affects Lava
