light rain
Sprinkle from above
Light rain is precipitation that falls gently, with small droplets and low intensity—enough to dampen surfaces but not drench them.
Meteorologists define it as falling at a rate under 2.5 millimeters per hour.
We walked through the light rain without bothering to open an umbrella.
Distinguished from drizzle, which consists of finer, more mist-like droplets.
