Ur thanks..
There seems to be a lot of mixed opinion about ceramics and braking in the wet - but most of it seems to be down to using a decent pad and making sure the brakes are toed in so the front of the pad hits the rim first (and clears the water from the braking surface) before you apply pressure. I'm going to go with a swiss stop ceramic to start with and if that doesn't work, something else.
If you've been using pads that aren't ceramic specific it's quite likely the softer pads will have left residue on the braking surface too...
