Car not starting when it's cold/damp/wet

Car wont start as above. Seems fine when it's nice and warm/dry/bright. Is this something to do with spark plugs?

What kind of car is it? Have you tried spraying WD40 on the leads?

Honda accord 95. How do I do this? Do you mean the leads leading to the spark plugs?

Well, I cleaned the wires from end to end using wd40 and also checked each of the ends were firmly fixed and it started after a couple of turns. Thanks for your help.
