Drizzle, very small, numerous water drops that may appear to float while being carried by air currents; drizzle drops generally have diameters between about 0.2 and 0.5 millimetre (0.008 and 0.02 inch). Smaller ones are usually cloud or fog droplets, while larger drops are called raindrops.

In general, what conditions create a drizzle or light rain? The temperature is not below freezing, otherwise the rain would freeze, or turn into snow.

Drizzle is a light liquid precipitation consisting of liquid water drops smaller than those of rain – generally smaller than 0.5 mm (0.02 in) in diameter. Drizzle is normally produced by low stratiform clouds and stratocumulus clouds.

What causes rain? Clouds are made of water droplets. Within a cloud, water droplets condense onto one another, causing the droplets to grow. When these water droplets get too heavy to stay suspended in the cloud, they fall to Earth as rain.

Drizzle is a type of liquid precipitation consisting of very small droplets of water falling from low level stratus clouds.

It usually occurs when updrafts in clouds are not quite strong enough to produce rain. Like rain, drizzle drops grow as cloud droplets collide and combine with each other, but then fall out of the bottom of the cloud before thay can grow into bigger raindrops.

Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.

Rain and drizzle are precipitation in the form of liquid drops. In this case, the size of the drops tells us what they are. Drizzle drops tend to be small, falling much slower than rain. On the other hand, rain drops are bigger and fall slightly faster.

A precipitation chance is a probability that precipitation will occur at a particular location in the forecast area. This chance ranges from 0% to 100%. A 100% chance guarantees precipitation will occur. A 100% chance will be issued when it is already precipitating or mechanisms are in place to guarantee precipitation.

Is it possible that during a rainstorm it can be foggy at the same time, or does the rain clear up the fog? Fog usually accompanies rain in the central and eastern portion of the U.S., and similarly in the coastal Pacific Northwest. Fog, with or without rain, is reported when the visibility falls below 7 miles.

Approximately 90 days

The tiny droplets that make up fog may collide and coalesce with raindrops as they pass through a fog bank, but most of the fog molecules will continue to be supported and separated by thermal Brownian motion, and will not be physically “washed away” by a rainstorm.

By definition, fog has a visibility of less than 1km, but it can get much thicker than that. The Met Office visibility scale runs down to a Category X fog, where visibility is less than 20m. If fog gets mixed with industrial pollution, it becomes smog and can be thicker still.

The Grand Banks are a cluster of underwater plateaus on the southeastern parts of Newfoundland in eastern North America. These regions are shallow with a depth ranging from 50 to 300 feet. The northern cold Labrador Current mixes with the eastern warm gulf-stream current, creating a thick fog almost every day.

Fog often dissipates with daylight. This is sometimes referred to as the fog “burning off” but that analogy is not correct. When the sun rises, the air and ground warm up. This leads to the air temperature being warmer than the dew point temperature, which causes the fog droplets to evaporate.

Mist is water or other liquid finely suspended in air. It’s a gaseous state of solid or liquid after heating. A very good question. The difference is that mist is (uncountable) water or other liquid finely suspended in air while vapor is cloudy diffused matter such as mist, steam or fumes suspended in the air.
