The probability of getting wet is the number of days with rain and a temperature between 35 and 50 degrees divided by the total number of days with a temperature between 35 and 50 degrees.

From the given information, we know that: 
- There are 20 days with rain and a temperature between 35 and 50 degrees. 
- There are 25 days with a temperature between 35 and 50 degrees.

Therefore, the probability of getting wet on a day with a temperature between 35 and 50 degrees is: 
P(wet) = (# of days with rain and 35-50 degree temperature) / (# of days with 35-50 degree temperature) 
P(wet) = 20/25 = 0.8

So, if the temperature is between 35 and 50 degrees on April 12, the probability that the players will get wet is 0.8 or 80%.
