Ford Fiesta still power steering when it rains

Car: Ford Fiesta
Variant: 1.4 L
Model Year: 2003
Categories: Leaks & Noises
I'm having trouble with my power steering, it is very stiff when it rains. The problem only lasts moments and once it's been turned both ways it frees up.
It started to get a bit still last year when it rained and got a bit worse as the weather got damp but this morning when it was raining hard it was really hard to get moving.
I know it will require a trip to the garage but would appreciate if anyone could tell me what the problems might be so hopefully I can avoid being taken advantage of.
Many thanks, Sue
