Dark grey rain-bearing cloud (6)

I believe the answer is:

nimbus

(Other definitions for nimbus that I've seen before include "Dark, rain-bearing cloud" , "Ouse/Trent estuary" , "Type of rain cloud" , "it could bring rain" , "Bums in (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Telegraph.
