Default When does drizzle become rain?

The forecast drizzle was nigh on rain in SE London today


When you stop getting damp, and get ruddy soaked to the skin. Ask my dog!

Jim, come to Dartmoor to see what real drizzle can do. Horizontal heavy
small droplet drizzle will soak you to the bone in 10 minutes up here. Rain
in one minute!
Drizzle that is just damping is called "fine weather" in these parts :-)
