Default Power Windows won't work... Weather related?

Hello everyone,
I have a Honda Civic 2008 1.8i-VTEC sport, which I bought second hand. Been very happy with the car, but during this last winter I noticed that windows wouldn't work at all, mainly first thing in the morning, so I assumed it was related to the cold.
I asked a Honda garage what it was, assuming it was a fuse or something. But they said they couldn't find a problem, and said it might be the window switch in the door. However, as soon as weather started getting better, the windows have been working fine...but while washing the car, I noticed that the windows wouldn't work after having put water on the car with the high pressure water pump. So obviously water has something to do with it. I checked the fuse box under the hood, and it was dry, but could some water be getting between the windows and causing a short? How do I fix this, new window seals? Could it be something else?
Any advise would be very very much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply fcm.
All windows don't respond, and I've tried all of the switches, I.e. In all four of the doors.
