the effect of rain on say uninsulated ladder line.

I've heard rain affects balanced line, but I use standard insulated
450 ohm ladderline to feed a dipole, and I can't detect any SWR
changes when the line is wet or dry.

What is the general effect of moisture on antennas and feed
lines as power is increased?
