Fogs up on rainy days

You have a leak and water build up inside the car. Look at sunroof, windsheild and hatch seals first, and sunroof and hatch drain lines second.

or try finding the area in the car that is wet first.
pull the carpeting up after a heavy rain and see which area has a leak, leave the carpet out and have a friend water the car down with a garden hose while you crawl around seeing where a stream or drip is coming from.

could even just be a musty ol' girl...
the beater N/A I picked up recently had moist seats and floor (no leaks, just accumulation over time) and in that state it takes a while to evaporate all the moisture and thus stays foggy for a while...
but you may very well have leak also, just throwing out suggestions

Same problem. I dont have heating nor cooling in my car and opening my window while in the rain is'nt fun so I use Rain X Interior Glass Anti-fog, Its a liquid you wipe on the windows and prevent them from fogging. It works great as a fast/temp solution, it may last for several days.
Fyi: my defogs dont work as well.

It rains from time to time here in oregon.
Make sure the windows are clean, put the rainx stuff on if you want. Start wiping all the excess moisture off the windows and keep the windows rolled up the problem might go away once you get the moisture out. If it doesnt start checking weather-stripping, and the hatch drains are commonly plugged up too.

quick fix is, if you have a/c....run it. Just set the temp to a heated setting instead of cold. Remember, air conditioning is exactly that, "conditioned air". It will easily take the humidity out of the interior while you are driving. But you should also make sure that the carpet and seats are not wet. Also the rear where the spare tire is. That is a favorite place for water to accumulate.
