How it's used
Describes a state of being damp or drizzly rather than a heavy downpour. It often carries a slightly annoyed or inconvenienced tone, highlighting the messiness of being caught in light rain. Use it when the weather is just enough to make things uncomfortable or sticky.
Examples
It is drizzling outside, remember to bring an umbrella.
Walking to work in the rain, my shoes feel very uncomfortable.

Common phrases
in this drizzly weather
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a heavy rainstorm or a typhoon, as it specifically implies light, persistent, or annoying moisture. It is an adjective phrase describing the condition of the environment or one's clothes, not a verb for the act of raining.
