Solution

Charging by rubbing happens best in dry weather. Air is an insulator, but the presence of moisture in air makes it conductive, which, in turn, makes static charges to flow through the air to make the object electrically neutral. Because the moisture level is quite low in dry weather, charging happens best in it.
