Aircraft; Weather
I [was] pilot flying. Significant rain during loading of airplane. Had Maintenance perform water intrusion check; and found avionics 'dry'. At 80-100 knots on takeoff; lost Number 2 generator. While on climbout through 3;000 feet lost Number 1 generator. Complied with phase one and didn't recover either.  Started APU and handed control of airplane to Captain. Ran ECAM and eventually got the Number 1 generator back.  Received vectors and [returned to departure airport].
There was light rain during [loading]. There was some wetness on the floor in the main cabin area; but no pooling. We requested and maintenance performed an E&E inspection just prior to closing the main cabin doors. Maintenance reported the E&E was completely free of water.Push back and taxi were uneventful and normal operations. The First Officer (FO) was the pilot flying. During the takeoff roll; I noticed the Number 2 Generator fault illuminated around 90 knots; so I chose to continue the takeoff. Climbing through 2;500 feet a Number 1 generator fault occurred. I chose to immediately start the APU. The FO asked me to take controls due to the loss of his PFD and MFD. I took over flying and asked him to perform the immediate action items. He cycled both generators and we recovered Number 1 generator. The APU generator also came online about the same time. He continued to work ECAM; and QRH and I coordinated vectors for return to [departure airport]. The FO finished the procedures and we briefed the approach; performed the normal checklists; and flew the ILS to a normal landing.The water intrusion continues to be the problem. I recommend some sort of canvas canopy on the loaders. Maintenance did check and found no water; so I'm not sure what else could be done on that front.
A300 flight crew reported returning to departure airport after loss of both generators.
