It might just be your drain is blocked, take the vent off the intake on the wing, and stick you hand down to the bottom and clean out the drain.
Might even be able to poke it out from the underside.
OR, the heater matrix is leaking, but since it's rain related I think you are OK.

The air intake is on the top of the wing, so rain goes straight in. To cope with this there is a vent in the under side of the intake duct. Lift bonnet, slide your hand along underside of the air intake duct and you'll feel a rubber birds mouth shaped tube sticking down. This can stick together with mud. Squeeze it and the water will flood out. Take the intake cover off, stick your arm down, clean the inside, rinse it. Sorted.

I think l just fixed it in time, as the motor has stalled twice recently and l was only alerted by the smell of burning!
Why is there a grommet and not just a hole (such as the one left if you remove the grommet) The water just drains on to the top of the inner wing either way.

+1 you just want fresh air pulled in to the cab. Now you know it's there, it just takes a quick look once a year. Or, if the screen starts to steam up suddenly check it straight away
