I was a bit surprised to find gentle drizzle falling while I was out
with the dog during the past half hour. It's a bit murky but I can't
see what the drizzle is falling from. The moon and a couple of planets
are clearly visible through the cirrus and also a few stars. There
doesn't appear to be any low cloud. Perhaps the drizzle is drifting in
the wind from precipitation further afield.


Further to the above, there's quite a substantial covering of dust
visible on cars this morning. I suspect that what I felt last night was
dust particles dampened by dew. They looked exactly like drizzle
droplets in a torch beam so were larger than we usually get in dust
falls.
