The major reason is that influenza, like most viruses, relpicate and live longer on non-living surfaces in the presence of moisture in the air and on the surface. This is why in places like the Southwestern US, this is less of a problem. It dies in the dry heat before you can catch it as easily.

For influenza to attack the body must have a weakened immune system. So when one gets wet the immunity is lowered and influenza is happy to attack.
