Former Queen in flamboyant clothing, experiencing damp weather (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

showery

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

'clothing experiencing damp weather' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'former queen in flamboyant' is the wordplay.
'former queen' becomes 'ER' (Elizabeth Regina, ie Queen Elizabeth).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'flamboyant' becomes 'showy' (synonyms).
'er' going inside 'showy' is 'SHOWERY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for showery that I've seen before include "Like many British days" , "Raining intermittently" , "some rain" , "Wet" , "far from fine" .)
