You don't have to use a torch to clean the pads. A bit of sandpaper will work (if indeed you need anything at all, which you probably don't). Unless you got brake fluid on the pads, they are probably fine.
Clean the rotors with isopropanol or ethanol and a paper towel.
Brakes do make noise in rainy conditions sometimes.
I may well have been clumsy and got brake fluid on the pads. Do you think this will rub off naturally or do I need to get the sandpaper out?
I have posted pictures of the pads below. Do they look to you like they need a good sandpaper?
