drizzly

/ˈdɹɪzɫi/ adj

Abounding with drizzle; drizzling.

Word Origin Drizzly comes from drizzle, which is from Old English dreosan 'to fall, suffer, die' — a rather dramatic root for light rain! The same root gives us dreary (originally 'gory, bloody', then 'gloomy') and drowse (to be sluggish). So drizzly weather is a light, falling rain that can make you feel dreary and drowsy.
