Default Belt Slip difference in the Rain?

It's the wet season down here in Florida.

Anyone notice a difference with SC belt slip in the rain with rain water getting up on the crank serpentine? My C5 may is lower than stock and lower than an F-Body for sure.

Is belt jump more likely in wet conditions?
Anyone drive differently in the rain with the belt in mind?

I dont see how you'd actually know if its slipping...you arent putting power down in the wet anyways.

Then let's talk about belts being more prone to jump in the rain?

Is it at all dangerous to push it with an SC Belt system when wet?
There must be some effect of water soaking the crank area and belt.
Anyone ever have any bad SC/belt experiences in the rain?

Thx.
