If you aren't able to put the amulet in an open window as JMG suggests, remember that the Moon is shining on the tops of the clouds and that lunar influence is being absorbed by the water.
As an alternative, if what JMG suggests isn't possible, I would suggest that on the second or third night, you also put out a shallow bowl (ideally a silver bowl but a white crockery bowl would be fine) where the rain will fall into it and fill it at least partway. Get up before the sun rises and the moon sets, place the amulet into the bowl, cover it with a plate, take the bowl indoors, uncover it and set it on your altar or some dark or dimly lit place for awhile (maybe an hour) and let the amulet soak. Then dry it off and wrap it up until you are ready to consecrate it.
You can then do some other magic with the moon water if you wish. The magic should be compatible with the character of the amulet, obviously. If you don't have a use for the water, pour it out on a plant.
