Curious pelting rain? Get over it! (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interrogative

'curious' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'pelting rain? get over it' is the wordplay.
'pelting' indicates an anagram (letters hit or pelted).
'rain'+'get'+'over'+'it'='raingetoverit'
'raingetoverit' anagrammed gives 'INTERROGATIVE'.

(Other definitions for interrogative that I've seen before include "raising questions" , "Questioning" , "Denoting a question" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
