Wet weather’s coming, endlessly covered by press (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rainstorm

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

'endlessly covered by press' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'wet weather's' is the wordplay.
'wet' becomes 'rain' (wet weather).
'weather' becomes 'storm' (I have seen 'Violent weather' mean 'storm' so perhaps 'weather' could also mean 'storm').
'rain'+'storm'='RAINSTORM'

'coming' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rainstorm that I've seen before include "bad weather" , "In bad fall" , "squall" , "Heavy downpour" , "Heavy fall" .)
