How to use wet in a sentence?

1. Chris Oram:

   It has been a bit hotter, but this year we never took a (corn) harvest because it was so cold and wet.

2. Haim Pinto:

   [It was] lucky that today was cold and wet, so that there were not too many people out.

3. Marian Carroll:

   If you're after beach time or volcano trekking (not recommended in slippery conditions), the wet season can be inconvenient, on the other hand, the wet is better for river rafting (better flow conditions) and waterfall chasing.

4. Cath Rees:

   The main message I get is that they did not find any evidence of pathogenic bacteria on the sponges or brushes taken from a range of domestic settings and therefore there is no evidence that these items are a significant source of contamination in normal domestic settings, if there were some low levels of pathogens left on Cath Rees cloth, they are going to grow quite slowly( they grow optimally at body temperatures), so Cath Rees would not expect to see much growth of these, and this matched their results -- in wet condition there was some limited growth, in drying conditions the numbers either stayed the same or declined.

5. Jeff Knight:

   It appears through history that when we have a wet winter or spring, these things build up often down below Laughlin and even into Arizona, we'll have flights about this time of the year, migrations, and they'll move northward.
