Country curses wet weather (7)

I believe the answer is:

bahrain

'country' is the definition.
(I know that Bahrain is a country)

'curses wet weather' is the wordplay.
'curses' becomes 'bah' (both are mild oaths).
'wet weather' becomes 'rain' (rain is wet weather).
'bah'+'rain'='BAHRAIN'

(Other definitions for bahrain that I've seen before include "Gulf state" , "Arab state" , "Island country in the Persian Gulf" , "kingdom in Middle East" , "Gulf region?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
