#568 A Word in a Word by Word Tefilah
When davening amidah together with the shliach tzibur, word by word, as when you arrive late and can’t do it with the minyan. If you daven nusach s’fard and you are in a place that davens ashkenaz and you say morid hatal but the shliach tzibur does not. What should you do in that amida?
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that you should omit in that occasion "morid hatal" in order to continue saying the tefilah word by word. The reason is that after the fact, if you did not mention it you still comply and do not have to repeat the amidah (See Shulchan Aruch O.H. 114: 3 and Mishna Berura ibid. 13)
