Automobile parts are mostly made of iron. For rusting of the iron, water is required as a catalyst. In wet climate you have more of water vapour, which promotes rusting easily. In dry climate you have less of water vapour in the climate and so rusting is very slow as compared to wet climate.

Why do automobiles rust more easily in wet climates the drier climates?
Water/moisture is one of the main ingredients of rust. Oxygen, water and any iron mass will eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate. The amount of water determines the speed of the rust process. Seawater or saltwater also speeds up the process.

Why does coastal water in areas with hotter water have drier climates than having higher climates salinity than coastal water in cooler more humid areas?
This is because less fresh water runs into the ocean in drier areas and because heat increases the evaporation rate.
Why do scientists classify and compare climates?
So that they can compare regions of the earth more easily.
What are the kinds of corrosion affected in ferrous metals?
The kind of corrosion affected in ferrous metals is rust. This is frequently seen on automobiles and is more frequent in humid climates.
What causes rust on a car beside the sea?
Living in colder climates that get more snow can cause your care to rust faster. The salt that highway departments typically use on winter roads can accelerate the rusting of automobiles.
Are diesel automobiles more fuel efficient than ethanol gasoline automobiles?
yes
In China are there more bicycles in use or automobiles?
More bicycles
How does climate affect mechanical and chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in warm, wet climates, and mechanical weathering occurs more in cold climates.
What is bergmann's rule?
Bergmann's rule stipulates that in cold climate conditions animals should have denser bodies than in hot climates where a long, lean body would allow heat to escape more easily. This is similar to Alan's Rule (cold climates should favour shorter limbs, while the reverse is true in hot climates).
