Country curses bad weather (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

bahrain

bolivia

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

'country' is the definition.
(Bolivia is an example)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bolivia that I've seen before include "Landlocked South American country" , "South American country, capital La Paz" , "It borders Peru, Chile" , "South American republic" , "Country between Peru, Paraguay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
