Correct answer
Only if conditions and rules allow it to be done safely.
Heavy rain does not by itself impose an absolute ban on every overtaking manoeuvre. It may be performed only with adequate visibility, grip, space and separation, no applicable prohibition, and no danger. Articles 84–87 require checking safety and prohibit the manoeuvre with insufficient visibility. If conditions cannot be met, do not overtake; avoid unnecessary manoeuvres and adapt speed without exceeding the limit. There is no universal special 80 km/h maximum for overtaking in rain.
