Crossword Genius

Dull but not raining (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dry

This clue is a double definition.

'dull' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'not raining' is the second definition.

'but' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dry that I've seen before include "Arid; teetotal" , "Having given up drinking" , "Parched" , "Formal" , "Avoiding alcohol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
