The problem is not adapting your driving to the weather conditions. The stuff the other posters said about oil on the road is absolutely right, so slow down! The first time after it rains the road is covered with a mixture of oil from the tarmac in the road itself coming to the surface, rain, dirt, tyre rubber, you name it. When it rains regularly this stuff gets washed away but in dry weather it accumulates until the first time it rains.
An interesting statistic is that most loss of control is in the opposite direction to the first skid - so due to over-correction of the first skid. I got the hand of skid correction in my Supra - you have to steer into the skid as you did, but then snap the wheel back to straight or even a little the other way real quick AS SOON AS you feel the car start to respond. Correction and back to straight could all be over in 1-2s in the wet. Its fine once you can do it but public roads aren't a good place to learn. Don't know about here but in the UK some clubs used to do wet skid training sometimes. Anyone know?
