'it's wet' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'in between sunshine' is the wordplay.
'between' indicates putting letters inside.
'sunshine' becomes 'ray' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' going into 'ray' is 'RAINY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
