If you live in a rural area where they crop spray using planes or helicopters,it could be from the pesticides they use..... If there are Rubbish/refuse incinerator plants with really tall chimneys they can drop sulphuric acid on you absorbed in the rain clouds from hundreds and hundreds of miles away......
The incinerator plant in north east London kills trees and fish in lakes in all of the Scandinavian countries.....it's been going on for many years and started long before I was born....:(
My guess would be acid rain. Nowadays I have to cover up my tomato plants with clear plastic because I think it's acid rain that damages them. Not so long ago I thought a rain shower was better for my garden then water from the hose but now I'm not too sure. Cheers and happy weekend!
It kinda sound like acid rain. When clothes are dried outside on a line sometimes a shower comes by and make them wetter. That dries too, but the acids that came with the rain do not evaporate, they stay in the cloth. Then when you wear those clothes, playing in the rain, the acids get wet again and can irritate as you describe.
Another symptom that should be noticeable is that natural fabrics grow old and easy to tear faster than they used too. If you haven't noticed anything like that then my first guess (above) is probably wrong.

1. Sulphurous acid does not remain in the clothing. There is no solid form. 2. It is a very weak acid and short exposures should not cause those symptoms unless there were some prior irritations. 3. How do you know they were clothed?
Take a shower and talk about it later. I got caught in a down-pour yesterday and when I parked in front of the house it started again. I was already wet. I put my purse and bag on the porch and sat down on the terrace in the rain. It felt good. After a bit I stripped at the front door and went up and took a shower.
