Disgust expressed about wet weather abroad? (7)

I believe the answer is:

bahrain

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

'disgust expressed about wet' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'weather abroad?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'weather' could be 'rain' (rain is a kind of weather) and 'rain' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bah' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
