Not easy! 7/10 by knowledge, deduction and a lucky guess!

60%. Not great.
There were several terms I had never heard of so just had to guess.

60%, but mainly guesswork.

I'd argue with one of the definitions, "mizzle", as that was also
common in Northamptonshire.

When I was a child, I made up the word from "mist" and "drizzle" not
realising that I'd been beaten to it ages before. Found out many years
later that the word originates on the near continent, for instance Low
German "miseln".

I scored 60%, though I only actually knew three for certain (haar,
mizzle and St. Martin's summer). It seemed more a test of one's
knowledge of local dialect words and historical terms than of the
weather.

Yes, me too. Not the best quiz I've ever seen.
