'is it late when the weather's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'wet on a tuesday?' is the wordplay.
'wet' becomes 'rain' (wet weather).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a tuesday?' becomes 't'.
'rain' after 't' is 'TRAIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for train that I've seen before include "Coach; attendants" , "Flying Scotsman, e.g." , "Teach, series (of events)" , "Line of railway cars with locomotive" , "Number of eg carriages in a line" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
