It was raining heavily last night. Got into the car this morning to a pleasant surprise of water dripping from the dome as seen in the pics.

Anyone else had this issue and been able to fix it?

I guess the sunroof drains and seals would be the first suspects

As above,if you pull the light cluster off you will find the sunroof motor and gearbox if it's like the P38. Get the drains cleared first then have a look where the water is coming from while the cluster is off.

If it's the same as the P38 then a scraper will prise it off, just held on with spring clips.

It's called an interior light in the UK.
Dome light is a term from across the pond, and is best kept there.

I suppose it is, but it is only a little pond.
It's not as bad as the other term that often comes from there, where everything 4X4 is a bloody Jeep.

And it has been noted that @Mark Piercy has been slipping in the odd BUS.
