I thought I'd posted a question but now can't find it.

Can someone explain why, after being cleared for the 34VOR, a subsequent Visual Approach clearance is needed? What benefit is obtained by using the visual approach? Spacing?

Also, why was a visual approach being offered given the forecast was for 8km vis in rain? The report said the captain lost sight of the field at one point.

Thanks
