Should my wall be this damp after rain?

I went out to hang some washing and my outside wall looks really damp. It's rained all night but should it look like this?

Looks like splashback off the patio. My bet is the path & gravel have been added since the house was built, raising the level to within a nadgers of the damp course. To properly fix this, the ground level has to be taken back rather than bodge the wall with sealant.
