[Ads-l] scattered shower (singular)?

[Barretts Mail]

From https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scattered_shower <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scattered_shower>

	• (chiefly Britain) Any of a series of showers of rain, whose number, location and timing are impossible to predict

Sounds semantically odd to me, though.
