A car traveling over 45 mph can hydroplane with about 1/10th of an inch of water on the road.
Heavy water accumulation on the street/road surface - and - the excessive speed of the vehicles travelling on that road.
Hydroplaning is like water skiing. You need standing water on the roadway, not just moisture, and the necessary speed which is determined using tire pressure and math. The hydroplaning speed for tires at 32 psi is approximately 51 mph minimum. If you hit standing water at any speed other than a crawl you most likely will experience handling problems and possible loss of control.

It is known as aquaplaning.
Hydroplaning occurs when vehicle tires go over more water than they can displace. In these situations the tire is separated from the road by a layer of water.
it could take less then half an inch of water on the road to cause you to hydroplan
Yes. Water on a road causes something called hydroplaning, which makes it very difficult or impossible to steer, brake, or accelerate.
This is called hydroplaning. It happens when you are moving so fast over water that the water can't get out of the way fast enough for the tire to touch the road. The tire is actually lifted off of the road and gliding on a film of water that is trying to move out of the way. Hydroplaning is dangerous, as it causes you to lose control of the vehicle.

Yes, 2 inches of water can induce hydroplaning, especially at higher speeds. Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle's tires can't displace enough water and begin to ride on top of the water layer, losing traction with the road. Factors like tire tread depth, vehicle speed, and water depth all influence the likelihood of hydroplaning. Generally, the risk increases significantly with more water and higher speeds.
Hydroplaning
When your tires lose adhesion with the road it is called 'hydroplaning'
