Our wet weather beginning to ease in country (7)

I believe the answer is:

ukraine

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

'country' is the definition.
(Ukraine is a country)

'our wet weather beginning to ease' is the wordplay.
'our' becomes 'uk' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'wet weather' becomes 'rain' (rain is wet weather).
'beginning to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'ease' is 'e'.
'uk'+'rain'+'e'='UKRAINE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
