During approach at about 6 NM from the runway the aircraft encountered light rain which dissipated before reaching the final approach fix. Wipers were switched on. The crew discussed the weather and agreed that there was no threat to a safe operation.
The flight was then cleared to land by the controller: "Caution runway surface wet, surface wind 330/06 kt runway 21 cleared to land."
The aircraft touched down normally but continued its roll till it veered off the runway into the grass verge adjacent Link A5. There were no injuries and there was no damage
