Drizzle

Drizzle is when light rain falls steadily but gently from the sky. It’s like a mist of tiny water droplets, often making everything feel damp without soaking you through. You might need an umbrella or a hood to stay dry, but it’s not usually strong enough to cause significant wetness.

Mist

Mist is a fine spray of water droplets in the air, creating a thin, hazy layer. It’s like walking through a light fog, leaving everything feeling moist. While not heavy like rain, mist can still make you damp and cool.

Hail

Hail is ice that falls from the sky during thunderstorms. It forms when raindrops freeze into small balls or lumps of ice. Hailstones can vary in size, from tiny pellets to large chunks, and they can cause damage to buildings and crops.

Rain

Rain is water falling from the clouds to the ground. It’s essential for plants, animals, and people, helping to fill rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Rain can be light, like a drizzle, or heavy, like a downpour, and it plays a crucial role in Earth’s water cycle.

Get Wet

Getting wet means coming into contact with water, usually from rain. Whether it’s a light sprinkle or a heavy downpour, being caught without shelter can leave you soaked and uncomfortable.

Boots

Boots are strong shoes that cover your feet and ankles, often made of waterproof material like rubber. They’re essential for walking in wet and muddy conditions, keeping your feet dry and protected.

Rainstorm

A rainstorm is a weather event with heavy rain, often accompanied by strong winds, thunder, and lightning. It can cause flooding and other hazards, so it’s important to stay indoors and safe until the storm passes.

Shower

A shower is a short period of rain, usually lighter than a downpour but heavier than a drizzle. It’s like a quick burst of rain, often refreshing on a hot day.

A Puddle
