We usually see this with a few young birds, (peafowl & pheasants) that are inside or in a covered pen. Once they get a little wet from a rain it corrects itself.

What you can do is on a warm day mist them down with the hose or even a spray bottle of water- this will get them to clean and oil their feathers on a nice warm day. Then when it does rain they will be more water resistant.

I also agree that it's a male and that it is not 5 months- by 5 months old Ringnecks are colored out.
