Damp???

 

[jug]

my money is on dry(ish) joint on PCB of instrument panel. damp weather is usually cooler, which means metal contracts causing worse connection.

Like contract killings?

For the mileage display you could try removing the binacle and reseating the connectors. Does the car feel damp or is it just when its damp outside? If it's dry in the car then its probably the temp rather than the dampness.
