I wouldn’t be concerned about rain water getting into the intake. It will be water vapor by the time rain drops pass through the filter media, turbo compressor, and intercooler. The additional water vapor may drop IAT slightly. It’s actually relatively common to inject water into the engine for cooling, to decrease IAT and increase charge/air density.
BMW actually did this from the factory on the S55.
