My word for today is mizzle, meaning light rain; drizzle. I thought of this word last week when, at times, it was decidedly mizzly.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, its origin is late Middle English, probably from mist. In German there is miseln and in Dutch miezelen.
Mizzle seems to sum up this type of rain well, expressing the mood of drizzling, persistent rain so well.
There are so many different words to express weather conditions. Do you have any favourites?

One of my favourite words is Muckspout but there is so little opportunity to use it. I am a tea towel collector and love finding words on tea towels. It makes drying up so much more interesting. This one came from Belsay Castle. Muckspout means a foul-mouthed person who talks incessantly always using profane language. First recorded in the 1820s but also recorded in a letter by DH Lawrence in 1916. The word combines ‘muck’ or filth and ‘spout’ pouring out. I love itBarbara
