Some brake shoes are more sensitive to moisture (which will make them grab). First thing to do is look and see if the rubber plugs are missing from the adjustment holes. (They are oval holes, usually at the bottom of the backing plate, but sometimes elsewhere.) These plugs frequently get forgotten when removed, and allow water into the brake drum. Other alternative is to try a different brand of brake shoe...
