drizzling
Sprinkling from above
Drizzling describes light rain falling in fine, scattered drops—more than mist but less than a steady rain.
Weather reports distinguish drizzling from heavier precipitation: It's just drizzling; you won't need an umbrella.
In cooking, drizzling means pouring a thin stream of liquid over food: drizzling olive oil over the salad, drizzling chocolate over the cake.
