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.

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