Attention, sticky when wet...

Twice now I've gone out for a ride in good weather, and about halfway
through it started raining. Until then, no problems (I usually pull over
for a quick stop at the halfway point of my ride, and I would have
noticed if the brake pads were rubbing.) When I got off the bike at the
end of the ride, I notice that the rear brake pads are rubbing the rim
because they're no longer centered. This has only happened when riding
in the rain.
What's going on? Is there some spot I should lube? Brakes are Chorus.
Thanks

Rain helps kick up more crud and also helps distribute the crud. Take a
close look at your brake cable and housing. Also look in the brake arms
and sping to see if there is anything that needs cleaning. If you
lubricate, do so sparingly and wipe off anything that stays external.

If single pivot calipers with a rotational spring, try oiling the interface
between the spring and the caliper.
