In those types of conditions, I've had good luck (over several years) with the Continental Ride Tour tire. In mostly high-30s and above, frequently wet from rain, I generally rode at least several times weekly for a round-trip commuting loop. Handled well, had no punctures, dealt with standing water fairly well, and had sufficient grip even in corners taken at moderate speeds. They come in a variety of sizes in the 622 (700c) format: 28-622, 32-622, 37-622, as well as the larger 42- and 47- sizes). A little on the heavy side due to the solid anti-puncture strip, but otherwise they're a tire I'd do again.
