The night was dry, yet it was raining.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The second clause contradicts the condition established by the first, preventing a stable picture of the night from forming. Yet connects the incompatible descriptions as if both could stand together. The sentence draws attention to its own wording because the scene it describes cannot be readily reconciled.
