On a different but potentially related subject...

"On some aircraft with wing-mounted engines, the use of maximum reverse thrust to decelerate in heavy rain has also been shown to increase the risk of aquaplaning.

The reverser flow pushes water in front of the main wheels and may cause localised aquaplaning on runways that are already water-affected(Ranganathan, 2006)."
