drizzle"(Sometimes popularly called mist.) Very small, numerous, and uniformly distributed water drops that may appear to float while following air currents. Unlike fog droplets, drizzle falls to the ground.

Drizzle - Light rain consisting of water droplets that are very small.
Drought - A period when a region has a lack of rainfall. Droughts can affect a fairly small area for a season or an entire continent for years.
Drizzle
Precipitation featuring tiny water droplets 200-500 microns in diameter. Usually associated with Stratus cloud or rain, which has nearly evaporated before it reaches the ground.

FREEZING DRIZZLE
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.
Rain and drizzle have drops much larger than the wavelength of visible light, so they will not show evident diffraction effects. They will, however, exhibit the rainbow and other reflection-refraction phenomena, as will ice crystals.
MIST: Drizzle or heavy fog.
MIXING RATIO: In a system of moist air, the dimensionless ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air.
Freezing Drizzle Advisory- Issued when freezing rain or freezing drizzle is forecast but a significant accumulation is not expected. However, even small amounts of freezing rain or freezing drizzle may cause significant travel problems.
ZL- Freezing Drizzle
ZR / FZRA- Freezing Rain
Z-TIME- Time relative to 0° longitude which runs through Greenwich, England. This time scale uses a 24-hour clock and the time is the same for every point on the earth's surface. ...
Freezing Rain or Drizzle: This occurs when rain or drizzle freezes on surfaces (such as the ground, trees, power lines, motor vehicles, streets, highways, etc.) that have a temperature of 32o F or below.
Associated Weather: Drizzle or light snow.
Hazard Warning: Restricted visibility.
The solid equivalent of drizzle. It is reported as "SG" in an observation and on the METAR.

Compare to drizzle. Rain gauge Instrument for measuring the depth of water from precipitation that is assumed to be distributed over a horizontal, impervious surface and not subject to evaporation.
It does not reduce visibility as much as fog and is often confused with drizzle.Mixed LayerAn atmospheric layer, usually the layer immediately above the ground, in which pollutants are well mixed by convective or shear-produced turbulence.
Stratus does not usually produce precipitation, but when it does occur it is in the form of minute particles, such as drizzle, ice crystals, or snow grains.
Liquid water falls as rain or drizzle. All raindrops form around particles of salt or dust.

Drizzle: Window and road surfaces streaming with moisture. Visibility generally between 400 and 1000 m.
Snow: Large numerous flakes and visibility generally between 400-1000 m.
Hail: particles numerous enough to whiten the ground.
They move out of the extratropical regions towards the polar regions, bringing precipitation in the form of rain or drizzle.
precipitation: rain, drizzle and other forms of moisture falling from clouds.
Mizzling: A term used by Henry David Thoreau to describe weather combining thick mist and drizzle: a mizzling rain. North American usage may be peculiar to New England. Term is also found in Jane Austen's novel Northanger Abbey.
Glaze A coating of ice, generally clear and smooth but usually containing some air pockets, formed on exposed objects by freezing of a film of super-cooled water deposited by rain, drizzle, fog, or possibly condensed from super-cooled water vapor.
Stratus A low, gray cloud layer with a rather uniform base whose precipitation is most commonly drizzle.
Streamline A line that shows the wind flow pattern.
GRUNGE - Haze or low clouds surrounding a region of storms which limits visibility to storm chasers. Sometimes this term is used to describe low clouds, drizzle, and fog common when there is no good storms to chase.
Ground clutter may hide or confuse precipitation echoes near the radar antenna.
Gunge - [Slang], anything in the atmosphere that restricts visibility for storm spotting, such as fog, haze, precipitation (steady rain or drizzle), ...
It includes drizzle, rain, snow, snow pellets, snow grains, ice crystals, ice pellets, and hail. The ratio of precipitation to evaporation is the most important factor in the distribution of vegetation zones.
drizzleSmall drops between 0.2 and 0.5 millimeters in diameter that fall slowly and reduce visibility more than light rain.
