Dual belts are used to reduce belt tension. No guessing required.
If the crank pulley and the alternator pully both get wet the situation much worse.

We also know that most of the Cars on the road that used V-belts had only one belt and have worked fine like that. But, normally their alternators are also higher up. We also know many have higher amperage alternators that that have the potential to put more of a load on those single belts.
