I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's raining' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'we finish last' is the wordplay.
'finish' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'last' is 't'.
'we'+'t'='WET'

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wet that I've seen before include "Damp" , "Soaked with water" , "Irresolute" , "Saturated; rainy" , "Moistened" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
