Low-cost 60GHZ phased array antenna
In central Kansas we would see rainfall exceeding that rate multiple times a year. I've seen it as high as 12"/hour for a few minutes.

Oh. My. At this point, I suppose you'd need Wifi for your boat? :-)

12"/hour is 0.2"/minute, so that for a couple of minutes doesn't make for ridiculous overall rainfall. Signal quality is affected by the current momentary rate, and having the signal drop for seconds or minutes is problematic.
