Iron rusts because it reacts with oxygen. The oxygen in water reacts with iron quicker than oxygen in air, and the air outside is often damp, and there is the rain as well.

Why rusting is mostly during rainy season?

Rusting is more prevalent during the rainy season due to increased humidity and the presence of water, which are essential for the oxidation process. When iron or steel is exposed to moisture, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide, or rust. Additionally, rainwater can contain dissolved salts and pollutants that accelerate this corrosion process. The combination of these factors makes the rainy season particularly conducive to rust formation.
