When i get a car in the shop with the complaint that it dies in wet or damp weather, i normally find a bad ignition coil.
To test, lift the hood and start the car at night and spray water from a mist bottle onto the engine looking for sparks. You may see electrical arcs coming from the ignition coil or the spark plug wires.
Remember not to soak the motor or the spark will ground and you may not see it, just mist the motor and keep an eye out for sparks.
Wait a bit before you spray the motor for your eyes to adjust to the dark, that helps, and be very careful of moving parts in the dark they are harder to see. Be cautious.
