Dry vs Wet setup
What do you usually change when its raining on track? Which things do you increase or decrease?

I'm assuming you really mean wet weather and not just a damp track.
More wings, keeping the aero balance. Softer springs and anti-roll bars, keeping the mechanical balance. Less brake bias (move it rearwards). Less tyre pressure.
Consider opening up the on-throttle differential and locking up the off-throttle diff. Consider changing the ride height to account for the softer suspension.
A bit more rear toe-in can be helpful.
Short shifting is your friend.
Ok I did read some things as you said before, but not all of what you said, some things are new.
Here is an example of my dry setup and how I had my wet setup made, im wondering how it looks too you and how you would change it, I guess I didn't change much suspension apart from ride height:
Dry Setup
27/23 Wings
55/51 Differential
30/6/11/1/35/38 Suspension
Tyre 22.5 front and 20.3 rear
Wet Setup
32/26 Wings (increased a bit more front wing vs rear, wonder if its good or increase both equal or rear more compared to dry?)
60/50 Differential
30/6/11/1/37/41 Suspension
Tyre 22.0 front and 20.0rear (minimum pressure basically)
- @TigerAlen410 Can't help you further, pal. We can only give you general guidelines.
It would be exactly the same for me.
If I wanted to adapt a dry setup of mine to wet conditions, I'd go over that very same list, and that's as far as we can go without ( 1) proper input as to how the first batch of changes feel and (2 ) being able to rule out driver technique as the limiting factor to performance.
In other words, unless you give your mechanic specific feedback as to how the car feels after the changes, and unless you can guarantee you're applying the correct driving technique for your current weather conditions, I fear there's nothing else we can do 🤷
