A question. Does weather affect dying blooms? It seems likely that low vs high humidity would. Other factors like wind and sun exposure might factor in as well. Lots of moisture or dry conditions might cause the bud/blooms themselves to have higher/lower water retention which might also affect it. It seemed to me that on days with a bit of drizzle early, the bloom carcasses were more slimy than on sunny dry days. But that was just an impression and all this is just speculation.
