Is it normal for a velux window to leak when open?

I hardly ever open it but water was pouring in from the top when it was open and it was raining.

I guess because it pivots back there is nowhere else for the water to go, so maybe they just can't be left open when it's raining?

Thanks

Depends on wind direction, yes sometimes rain comes through into mine.

So yes, keeping it closed when it's raining is probably best.
