Crossword Genius

Land in terrible rain (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iran

'land' is the definition.
(Iran is an example)

'terrible rain' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates an anagram.
'rain' anagrammed gives 'IRAN'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for iran that I've seen before include "Tehran's country" , "Middle East country" , "bombless state" , "oil supplier" , "Middle Eastern country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
