Drizzle

Drizzle is a very light form of precipitation consisting of tiny water droplets, usually smaller than 0.5 millimeters in diameter. It differs from regular rain in its droplet size and intensity. Drizzle tends to fall more uniformly and slowly than rain, often appearing as a mist or very fine spray.

Key Features:

Droplet Size: Tiny, usually < 0.5 mm.

Intensity: Light and steady, not heavy enough to form puddles quickly.

Visibility: Can reduce visibility, especially when dense, like in fog.

Cloud Type: Typically comes from stratus clouds, which are low and gray.

Think of drizzle as a gentle, misty version of rain — you might not even need an umbrella unless you're out in it for a while!
