What is this warning light?

To clarify - that's In Car Entertainment - not frozen water

It doesn't metter is there cat or decat as this measures exhaust gasses temp. It's located after catalitic converter. Has around 35cm of wire and then connector. I bet its poor connection right there. As you suggested it's happened after heavy rains. Probably water get there and voila. Looking for wiring diagram it's not even connected to ECU so there is nothing to worry. Just this anoying light on dash. Check that connector or remove the bulb and you're sorted. In worse case scenario water killed sensor, or rather connecting wires going into it

Expect lots of weird warning lights at the moment - the wettest winter for 250 years, and 25 year old car electrics won't like it!

Cheers Sam, that's pretty much how I thought it would be. Must just be the excessive water. Car's running fine anyway. I'll get it all sorted out when the conversion gets done. ;)
