A plastic louvre vent each side will help, they should stop the rain driving through any holes.
Just opening the shed door on dry days will get rid of a lot of moisture.

I have a garage roofed with steel cladding and a couple of times this winter it rained inside the garage when it was dry outside ! :mad:

Check ebay for soffit roof air vent.  One each end of the shed, one high one low. Good airflow should prevent damp buildup

Modified the upwind wall to take a louvre vent high up under the eaves (or is that eave-singular) made from a bit of stainless steel holey plate I had hanging around.  It looks as though it has done the trick. 

Many thanks to all.  Cheers,  Tony. :D
