DtA, there were two incidents shortly before the runway was closed for resurfacing, and there was a wet weather restriction placed on some heavier types landing.

However, as was noted in the ATR thread, and this one too, the main runway has recently reopened after resurfacing to reduce aquaplaning incidents. It was reopened without the planned grooves, due to pressure over delays in air travel, and has seen two incidents in as many days.
