OOC, how does wet weather make punctures more likely?

It might be explainable by water+foreign object means it is more mobile
and gets flunk onto roadside by traffic, or every time it rains the gunk
in the lanes gets washed to the side where bicyclist ride, or puncture
repair in the wet is so miserable that you remember it longer than a
repair in the dry and thus seems to happen more often.
