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.
To rain slightly in very small drops; to fall, as water from the clouds, slowly and in fine particles; as, it drizzles; drizzling drops or rain
To pour oil, melted fat, sugar syrup, icing, or other liquid in a fine stream, making a pattern over food surface
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
Can be felt on the face but is not visible Produces little runoff from roads or roofs Generally visibility is reduced, but not less than 1000m
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
Small, slowly falling water droplets, with diameters between 0 2 and 0 5 millimeters
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
Precipitation in the form of liquid drops It's diameter is less than one half (0 5) millimeters Drizzle falls at a much slower rate than rain does
To pour a thin mixture, such as melted butter or thin icing, over food in a very fine stream
very light rain; stronger than mist but less than a shower moisten with fine drops; "drizzle the meat with melted butter"
Very small drops that can appear to float in the air They are too small to cause splashes but can be felt on the face as mist
Drizzle is light rain falling in fine drops. The drizzle had now stopped and the sun was breaking through
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
Falling drops of water smaller than 0 02 inch in diameter They appear to float in air currents, but unlike fog, do fall to the ground
To dribble drops of icing, chocolate or other liquidy ingredient over food in a random pattern
Small, slowly falling water droplets, with diameters between 2 and 5 millimeters
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
When the weather is drizzly, the sky is dull and grey and it rains steadily but not very hard. a dull, drizzly afternoon It was dull and slightly drizzly as we left
Drizzle, falling as a liquid, but freezing on impact with the colder ground or other exposed surfaces It is reported as "FZDZ" in an observation and on the METAR
Drizzle that falls in liquid form and then freezes upon impact with the ground or an item with a temperature of thirty two (32) degrees Fahrenheit or less, possibly producing a thin coating of ice Even in small amounts, freezing drizzle may cause traveling problems
Drizzle that falls in liquid form and then freezes upon impact with the ground or an item with a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less, possibly producing a thin coating of ice Even in small amounts, freezing drizzle may cause traveling problems
Drizzle that falls in liquid form and then freezes upon impact with the ground or an item with a temperature of 32° F or less, possibly producing a thin coating of ice Even in small amounts, freezing drizzle may cause travel problems
() The first part of the verb, driz- comes probably from Middle English drēse, Old English drēosan (“to fall, to decline”), making it cognate to modern English drowse.
