The water wont reflect any dangerous amounts of light, more than likely it will just diffuse it.

Heavy rain will shorten the distance the laser is unsafe (so no worries about blinding any pilots) and will make the beam much brighter looking.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't still be wary of planes.

You should definitely still look for planes-but at least the safety risk to the pilots is less.
