Default Squeak when it rains? (believe its a belt)

I've noticed that whenever it rains my car starts squeaking from the engine area and I believe its a belt. What would cause the belts to squeak only when it rains? The sound of it is starting to get really annoying and it ONLY occurs when it rains.

Anybody got an ideas?


Thanks!

Belts that have cracks will squeek when it rains... Humidity.

Remove the main belt and the A/C belt... Bend them outward, stretching the ribs, and look for cracks in the rubber... If you observe cracks, replace the belts and you'll be good to go.
