If you've ever been to Sligo, you'll know it's much the same there. I'd
swear I could name at least 15 distinct types of rain, *at* *least*!
The two worst kinds are misting where it's raining so lightly that you're
soaked before you even realise it and misting drizzle where it seems as
if the weather can't make up its mind whether to rain properly or not.
Light showers are quite pleasant though. They leave a nice smell off the
stone.
And that's just three...
