Yeah, it doesn't rain at the end of the first book. Technically, the worms can endure some water but it is like acid to them and it doesn't take a lot to kill them so a brief shower might not do the trick but if it rained regularly enough to penetrate the desert then they would be done.
I think the second book is probably my least favorite in the series. It gets good at the end and you come away with a greater respect and knowledge about Paul, but it takes a long while to get to that point. Luckily, it is the shortest of all of the books and after that the plot really takes a turn.
