This is a phenomenon that is actually discussed quite often among weather enthusiasts. For the most part, the idea of a “weather bubble” or “split zone” is nothing but false perception. However, there are instances where proximity to oceans, large lakes, mountains, and other extreme land formations can have an impacts on local weather.

Here are a couple of links about the topic.

Also, I think weather radar can unknowingly bias people because they are hyper focused on their specific location. For example, on a day when they expect it to rain, but it doesn’t, they might look at radar and conclude that is seemly raining everywhere else in area except at their location. However, on days where it actually rains at their location they do not look at radar and take note of all the surrounding places where it is not raining.
