The best answer without seeing the car is:
Try leaving a can of WD-40 in your car.
When it happens again, spray the WD-40 on the Sparkplug wires & coils.
This will take out the moisture.
If it starts right after that. Then (at least) your wires need replacing.

I would suspect a sensor to be malfunctioning and water is causing it. The cranksensor is at lower portion of engine so that is what I suggest you look at. Check and ensure the connectors are not contaminated by water and have corrosion indications.
