Excessively weak mixture, covered during warm-up by the richer mixture required from cold.
Low system pressure* in fuel metering head - the spring in the primary pressure regulator* gets out of adjustment, it needs shimming by a Bosch service agent. The symptoms are similar to what you are experiencing, as the low pressure is covered up during warm-up by the higher control pressure* provided by the warm-up regulator.
*look at Domain parking page for more info on these concepts.
Of course it could also be an electrical item breaking down as the temperature under the bonnet goes up - coil, HT spark plug leads, etc, especially as you also mention that you had more trouble than usual in the wet weather.
