It’s very wet in southeast central Spain (3)

I believe the answer is:

sea

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

'it's very wet' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'southeast central spain' is the wordplay.
'southeast' becomes 'se' ('SE' can be a synonym of 'southeast').
'central' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'spain' is 'a'.
'se'+'a'='SEA'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sea that I've seen before include "Cause of flooding" , "Large body of salt water" , "Watery expanse" , "Vast expanse" , "Cod's home?" .)
