Precipitation consisting of numerous minute droplets of water less than 0.5 mm (500 micrometers) in diameter.
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.
To slowly pour a liquid, such as melted butter or a glaze in a fine stream, back and forth, over food.
Fairly uniform precipitation composed exclusively of fine drops (diameter less than 0.02 inch or 0.5 mm) very close together. Drizzle appears to float while following air current, although unlike fog droplets, it falls to the ground.
Very small, numerous, and uniformly dispersed water drops that may appear to float while following air currents. Unlike fog droplets, drizzle falls to the ground. It usually falls from low stratus clouds and is frequently accompanied by low visibility and fog. In weather observations, drizzle is classified as the following: Very light, light moderate or heavy depending on the light amounts that do fall. Usually drizzle is referred to in forecast as NOT having an intensity, rather just as drizzle. By convention, drizzle drops are taken to be less than 0.005mm in diameter. Larger drops are considered raindrops.
Fine droplets of rain less than 0.5 mm in size.
To dribble drops of icing, chocolate or other liquidy ingredient over food in a random pattern.
Pour topping in thin lines from a spoon or liquid measuring cup in an uneven pattern over food (glaze over cake or cookies).
A form of precipitation that consists of water droplets less than 0.5mm.
Falling water drops with a diameter less than 0.02 inch.
pour a thin stream of liquid over food.
very light rain; stronger than mist but less than a shower
rain lightly; "When it drizzles in summer, hiking can be pleasant"
moisten with fine drops; "drizzle the meat with melted butter"
very small water 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.
very fine rain consisting of drops less than 0.5 mm in diameter.
Rain in fine, mist-like drops, between 0.2 and 0.5 millimeters in diameter, that produce a precipitation rate almost inevitably less than one millimeter per hour.
To coat food lightly with a dry ingredient such as flour, bread crumbs, or sugar.
Rainfall in which water drops are very small ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 mm in diameter.
Precipitation from stratus clouds consisting of tiny droplets.
Precipitation of very small water droplets resembling a fine mist. Droplets of drizzle are much smaller than those of rain.
Precipitation in the form of liquid drops. It's diameter is less than .5 millimeters. Drizzle falls at a much slower rate than rain does.
Precipitation composed exclusively of water drops smaller than 0.02 inches (0.5 mm) in diameter.
Falling water drops with diameters less than .02".
Small water drops with diameters of .2 to .5 millimeters.
Rain falling as very tiny droplets, small enough not to cause splashes in a puddle.
To pour a thin mixture, such as melted butter or thin icing, over food in a very fine stream.
Small, slowly falling water droplets, with diameters between .2 and .5 millimeters.
Water drops that are very small and fine. For the most part, drizzle falls from stratus clouds and is usually accompanied by low visibility and fog.
To pour melted butter or margarine, marinade or other liquid over food in a thin stream.
To slowly pour a fine stream of liquid over a dish.
very tiny drops of water that float to the ground
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.
very small, numerous, and uniformly dispersed water drops between 0.2 and 0.5 millimeters in diameter that generally follow air currents
To drip a glaze or icing over food from the tines of a fork or the end of a spoon.
Precipitation featuring tiny water droplets, no more than .02 inches in diameter.
To sprinkle drops of liquid lightly or pour a very fine stream of liquid over food.
Small water droplets between 0.2 and 0.5 millimetres in diameter that fall slowly and reduce visibility more than light rain.
Precipitation from stratus clouds consisting of numerous minute, fine water droplets which appear to float. In drizzle, the droplets are much smaller than in rain.
Fairly uniform precipitation in very fine drops of water (diameter less than 0.5mm) very close to one another, falling from a cloud.
Slowly pour a thin sugar and liquid (water or milk) mixture over food such as a cookie or a quick bread.
To slowly spatter drops of a liquid over a food in a thin stream.
Drops of water with a diameter between 0.2 and 0.5mm. It is usually caused by coalescence of droplets of cloud. It evaporates if it falls through dry air; dirzzle at ground level indicates moist air below cloud and suggests a very low cloud base.
To pour a liquid such as a sweet glaze or melted butter in a slow, light trickle over food. I use this mostly for desserts. I use one hand on the edge of the plate or pan to keep me oriented as to where exactly the food is. I pour the frosting or glaze slowly over the food moving it around slowly as I go. I have found that using a plastic sandwich type bag with a small hole cut from one corner works very well to control the liquid. I first fill the plastic bag with the glaze. Then I cut off one of the corners. I gently squeeze the bag to push the glaze out through the hole and onto the food. This way you get a constant thin stream of glaze.
Light rain with drops smaller than 0.5 mm (0.02 in).
To pour liquid over the surface of food in a fine stream.
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.
(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. It usually falls from low stratus clouds and is frequently accompanied by low visibility and fog. In weather observations, drizzle is classified as 1) light, the rate of fall being from a trace to 0.3 mm (0.01 in.) per hour; 2) moderate, the rate of fall being from 0.3 to 0.5 mm (0.01–0.02 in.) per hour, and 3) heavy, the rate of fall being greater than 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) per hour. When precipitation equals or exceeds 1 mm (0.04 in.) per hour, all or part of the precipitation is usually rain. However, true drizzle falling as heavily as 1.3 mm (0.05 in.) per hour has been observed. By convention, drizzle drops are taken to be less than 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) in diameter. Larger drops are considered raindrops. Compare mist.
Drizzle is fairly steady, light precipitation. The drop size of drizzle is smaller than that of rain, averaging 0.5 mm in diameter. Though drizzle may be produced by low cumuliform clouds, it is more commonly associated with stratiform clouds.
