how old are the plug leads?
if they've done a fair amount of work, is possible that the insulation isn't up to scratch in humid environment. Also check for cracks in the insulation where they clip into cable holders.
can you get a stand-by setof plug leads in the car for a rainy day?
... and the earths to worry about are (seeing as you have points):
earth at coil
earth from batt(-) to chassis
earth strap from chassis or battery to engine
also, do you have the weatherstrip at the front bonnet lip? otherwise driving in rain will result in mist coming in thru that gap - engine heat would evap. most eater, but the humid environment would let poorly-insulated HV connectors leak to earth.
ta,
charles.
