This could very well be caused by faulty ignition wires, distributor cap, and rotor. If your spark plugs are requiring more voltage to fire (because of their resistance, the eroded gap, the small electrode, perhaps a non-optimal mixture strength during starting) this, along with the dampness, may encourage arcing elsewhere in the secondary ignition circuit. If your cap/rotor/wires are in good shape, they should not arc even with very marginal spark plugs.
