Egg broke inside and now she seems quite ill, any advise?

No, she doesn't appear off when it rains, I don't think, just that her wrinkly eggs coincide with a sudden change, and we're a very windy city so weather changes at the drop of a hat.

I've just been assuming she has either had an illness that she recovered from (she's got no feathers around her vent) or that she was simply born with a faulty shell gland, because she's a high yield layer. She has been laying almost daily, with a break during worming, and this is the first problem she appears to have had.

I'm confident that this episode is a result of thin shells combined with her very large eggs. So hopefully it'll be a rare occurrence if I can improve their calcium uptake.

Gottcha! I misunderstood

She may be a bit more sensitive to changes in the weather - or doesn't handle stress very well. Since the wrinkled eggs come when there is a "change" they may be stress induced.

You could be right about previous illness. While she may never show any outward symptoms, certain illnesses impact egg quality/production, especially as they age.

It's very good that she has recovered quickly. I hope she continues to do well.
