| Raining, drizzling, spitting, hammering it down. |

I work near one of the tourist raps in London so there are always a good few tourist groups about as I walk to work or go for a walk at lunchtime. This morning I got walking alongside such a group when the lead bod at the front turns round and says in a foreign accent I couldn't quite place, "And this type of rain is called? ... Drizzle".
Excellent, come to London to improve your English by learning all our words for rain and see that although British do get stereotyped for always talking about the weather there is a reason for that - once you're here for any length of time you'll soon realise we do have a lot of rain and it does fall in lots of different ways.
