Along with the other Avoid It advice I’d echo Stik’s comment and would extend it to carbon fibre props (i.e. Warp Drive)
Heavy rain erodes the leading edge of the blades quite dramatically and very quickly. They now produce a nickel edged blade, which helps at least as far as prop damage is concerned!
