Antwerp is windy, exposed to wet weather (9)

I believe the answer is:

rainswept

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

'exposed to wet weather' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'antwerp is windy' is the wordplay.
'windy' indicates an anagram (windy suggests disruption).
'antwerp'+'is'='antwerpis'
'antwerpis' anagrammed gives 'RAINSWEPT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rainswept that I've seen before include "Thoroughly wet" , "exposed to regular lashing" , "Wet and stormy" , "Suffering cats and dogs" .)
