Default Rain, heavy or light!

On Wednesday of last week we had a very uncomfortable day, temperature /
humidity wise.
The weather was also very overcast with several short spells of drizzle
during the day.

I found it strange that the precipitation wasn't heavier taking into
account the cloud thickness.

What causes the differences? was it that there really wasn't any cool
enough air aloft for any heavier precipitation to develop, especially as
it was also fairly breezy.

Any answers anybody?

Thanks.

Len.


How thick was the cloud?
