When the diameter of the droplet reaches 0.5mm, IIRC.

The observations during the day were mixed. Some reporting rain, others
drizzle and some both.

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

A dog in Blackheath wouldn't have got very wet today. We must be
experiencing the Ravensbourne Valley Anomaly again.

Alternatively, you could try emailing her. She's fitted with a chip, so she
should be able to receive it directly through wi-fido.

Well Kate midday in Dulwich was also far above drizzle hence the question
that started the thread. I blame the river Peck anomaly.

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 :-)
