Quite a stretch from humid, moist and damp to wet!
This seems to be the case also in Portuguese.
dictionary.cambridge.org says:
ligeiramente molhado
– uma roupa úmida
impregnado de líquido
– um solo úmido
relativo à quantidade de vapor de água presente na atmosfera
– ar úmido
úmido (adjective)
damp [adjective] slightly wet
humid [adjective] damp
moist [adjective] damp; slightly wet
The same at dicio.com.br and dicionario.priberam.org. Only collinsdictionary.com lists "wet" as a first definition.
The correct translation of "wet" is molhado:
While some dictionaries list "wet" as a synonym of humid, moist or damp, it is not a synonym, but a related word, and it should be classified as so.
