I am using an RV air filter. When I don't use carb heat, air and rain is jammed into my carb air inlet. When I use carb heat, the normal air inlet is closed off and the air and rain have to go through the carb heat box before getting to the carb. This path should let less rain get through to the carb.
By the way, I drilled a hole in the bottom rear of my air filter so that water that is sitting there could leak out. I have flown in some pretty severe rain and not had a stoppage. I think that the drilled hole helps let the water out.

OK, anybody have a plausible theory on how adding carb heat will REMOVE the water? Just making it vapor makes it combustible???
