Weeding in Rain

We were told weeding in rain is easier, but the recent dry spell means we haven't had the opportunity.  And that I have been working on the patio, so not exactly weeding.

So the moist soil means the plant comes out easier without much digging.  And the added moisture in the root structure meant they are more flexible and less brittle, which means more come out.  On the other hand.  Except I am getting wet, I could do some of the grounds work in the rain also.
