Answer
It is unsafe for an electrician to conduct electrical repairs outdoors during heavy downpours. Rainwater, containing dissolved salts, serves as a good conductor of electricity. If it comes into contact with electrical components or wiring, it can establish a path for the electric current, posing a risk of electric shock to the electrician.
