Will rain affect the speed of the train?

The railway department attaches great importance to the safety of trains in rainy days. According to the different rainfall, the railway department divides the train speed into three limits. Running speed is faster when the rainfall is small, and slower when the rainfall is heavy. When the rainfall reaches a certain value, the railway will be blocked and trains will be banned to ensure the safety of passengers' lives and property.
