P-noise is observed when there is no rain nor thunderstorms, but plenty

So how does it get there? How does it build up? Where is the spark arc

This is a well known phenomenon in Arizona. What else, besides
charged dust particles, could cause arcing at coax connectors
on a perfectly clear windy day?
