I had a similar problem, except it was any kind of humidity, not just rain. I read some forums suggesting it might be plug wires. They said to check for arcing from plug wires (and coil wire) to ground with engine running. I looked but could see nothing in the daytime. In the dark, however, the car was like a freakin Tesla coil. Thin blue spiderweb sparks going from every wire to anything metal nearby. Coil wire in particular. Spray the plug wires down with WD-40 was the temporary cure (the WD means water displacing, and I guess it works for something), and replacing the plug wires was the permanent fix.
I second Saabina's analysis. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor are a good place to start.
