Default Brake shudder

I drove my AU ute on Wednesday and it was fine. Today I drove it in the rain and it has a terrible brake shudder which wasn't there on Wednesday. Could this just me the wet weather?????

If you have ABS its usually from braking to hard in the wet / the tyres loose traction and skid / so the brakes release and grab again / then if it still skids (if your still braking to hard ) then it repeated again / thus resulting in a chuddering effect . If it didn't do it previouslly in the wet with abs , and now it is / under the same braking / then it maybe a sign you need new tyres.

Or if you dont have abs it can be water getting between the pads and the disc making the brake pads grab and release etc etc .
