My historical data shows a 12% reduction in FE when it's wet. I record it as "wet" when I would rather not be out in that weather, or would choose to take an umbrella, or right after a rain when water is standing on the roads. If it's just misting but the roads are dry, I count that as dry.

My data also shows an 8% gain when it's humid. Comparing only morning commutes, and calling it "humid" when there is dew on the car or fog in the air.
