Misfire at 65mph in the rain

I have had this problem a couple of times at 60 65 mph in heavy rain, the engine misfires if I pull over let the engine tick over for a minute the problem goes.

Has anyone else had this, had this problem and how did you cure it.

I haven't checked the filter, I have a pipercross cleanable filter fitted, also I have done about 200 miles without any problems.

Filter oil migration to MAF maybe, or as already suggested. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

I turn the snorkel head on mine I bad weather. That seems to stop it.

I only get the odd hiccup though. I did suspect the injector harness plug by the rocker cover for a while 2014 - current ..... 2003 defender td5 90 (my car)
