Seems unlikely, if water got in, it would likely flow to the bottom and I
would worry about it getting into the coax cable and affecting both SMs.
I would first suspect multipath off the wet fields.

Subject: [AFMUG] 3.65 Alpha Omni - Water ingress?
I deployed a 3.65 Omni antenna attached to a 450AP about 2 weeks ago.
Two SM's on it that are geographically opposite from each other (one
faces West, the other East). Two minor rain events have happened since,
and each time the West facing SM loses >10dB. A day or two after the
first rain event the connection cleared up on it's own. The SM facing
East is unaffected.
Under the radome of this Omni, I assume there are four 90 degree
antennas. Is it possible water is penetrating the omni and affecting
only one side?
