"Paradise," he said sarcastically as he, co-star Shantol Jackson and the rest of the crew waited to resume filming. "It happens," he added as he panned the camera around to show the extent of the bad weather, and his fans were quick to react.
Taking to the comments below the post, one wrote: "It'll not last long! Just so excited you're back on Death in Paradise. You're brilliant Ralf."
"Has Death in Paradise relocated to Manchester?" someone else joked, while a third said: "You should film the episode in the rain and carry umbrellas. This would add more realism to the TV series because how come it never rains on TV??"
