This puzzle is intended to be an approachable introduction to rain lines, which are what I'm calling region sum lines with a non-consecutive constraint along the line.
This puzzle uses the same ruleset as my other rain lines puzzles: Lost in Time, Like Tears in Rain and Lost Rain.
Thanks to Bremster for inspiration for this puzzle.
Featured in: Bremster's Solve
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Rain Lines (non-consecutive region sum lines): Adjacent digits along a blue line may not be consecutive. Digits along a blue line sum to the same value in each box the line visits. If a line enters the same box multiple times, sum each visit separately. Different lines may have different sums.

Very nice puzzle all the way through. I could see this constraint really taking off. I will definitely attempt your other two rain lines puzzles.

Thank you, I hope it does take off. Have fun with the others!

Managed to solve it without using the 4-cell line in boxes 2 and 5

Thanks for taking the time to solve and give feedback! I wanted to highlight some of the subtle logic with this constraint, so there are more clues than strictly necessary.
