Clutch slip when raining?

For the last 3 months, I have noticed that when my car is still cold (first 5 minutes of driving), my clutch slips ONLY when it's wet/humid/raining outside

It feels like the clutch is bouncing on the flywheel... so it's not a smooth slip, it's more of a bounce

In order to avoid this, I have to rev my car at about 1500RPM and then take off

WTF?!

you're spinning your tires... not your clutch.

Thanks but I’m not stupid....... that was a waste of a post

It could be my differential that’s making that too, I don’t know
Like I said, when the car has warmed up it stops doing this though

clutches will act alittle different and may not grab as well when cold-I kow that for sure- but if you say its mostly when moisture is in the air than there is probebly moister on your fly wheel. I wouldnt worry about it.

Moisture on the flywheel would be gone in like .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000001 seconds after it started spinning..
