This might be a double definition.

'some wet weather' is the first definition.
'hail' can be an answer for 'weather' (hail is a kind of weather). I'm unsure of the 'some wet' bit.

'welcome' is the second definition.
('hail' is a greeting or welcome)

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hail that I've seen before include "Acclaim; frozen rain" , "Precipitation - old greeting" , "Fall of ice" , "Greet; frozen rain" , "come down hard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
