What is the difference between RAIN, DRIZZLE, and HAIL? :wrrrrr:

RAIN - (n) (noncount) water that descends from the clouds as water droplets.

e.g. Continuous rain caused the flash floods in the city.


DRIZZLE - (n) (noncount) fine light rain

e.g I like walking in the drizzle.


HAIL - (n) (noncount) small droplets of ice that fall as rain.

e.g. Hail is coming! We'd better park the car inside.

:itshere:

Take note that these three words can also be used as verbs.
