Very small, numerous, and uniformly dispersed water drops, mist, or sprinkle. Unlike fog droplets, drizzle falls to the ground. It is sometimes accompanied by low visibility and fog
No longer pouring, the rain outside slowed down to a faint drizzle.
If it is drizzling, it is raining very lightly. Clouds had come down and it was starting to drizzle. weather that is a combination of light rain and mist
Slowly falling precipitation in the form of tiny water droplets with diameters less than 0 02 inches or 0 5 millimeters It falls from stratus clouds and is often associated with low visibility and fog It is reported as "DZ" in an observation and on the METAR
very light rain; stronger than mist but less than a shower moisten with fine drops; "drizzle the meat with melted butter" rain lightly; "When it drizzles in summer, hiking can be pleasant
Fairly uniform precipitation composed exclusively of fine drops very close together Drizzle appears to float while following air currents; however unlike fog droplets, it falls to the ground Drizzle drops are too small to disturb appreciably still water puddles
Fairly uniform precipitation composed exclusively of fine drops with diameters less than 0 02 inch (0 5 mm) which are very close together Drizzle appears to float while following air currents, although unlike fog droplets, it falls to the ground The intensity of drizzle is based solely on visibility The following table shows drizzle intensity versus visibility
Heavy mist or light, fine, continuous rain that will fall slowly, reducing visibility somewhat more than light rain Water droplets will be between 0 2mm and 0 5mm in size Drizzle can often be confused with light rain, however drizzle's water droplets will be smaller in size than those of rain
Very small precipitation drops (diameters less than 0 5 mm) that appear to float with air currents while falling in an irregular path Unlike fog droplets, drizzle falls to the ground
