In my city there are many stretches that run in the surface. The station I took when I was a kid gets veniced once a year or every other year when it pours and shuts the entire line or maybe just a chunk in the middle of it. It’s very much affected by the wether, maybe a bit more than roads since they always set up an auxiliary bus line to cover any shut down.
Public transit suffers in bad weather just as much as car traffic.
Trains just end up moving slower, trees fall down on tracks. Busses are just big cars and need to drive on the same roads as the cars do.
Subways give zero shits about inclement weather.

Yearly flooding is infrastructure neglect and poor design, not a flaw inherent to the subway.
