mizzle

The murk and mizzle kept the players off for almost three hours, though the break did little to stall England's momentum.

A coalition of advocacy groups behind the blimp took reporters and photographers out on a morning cruise in the mist and drizzle — known in Cornwall as “mizzle” — to see its launch off the coast of a Cornish fishing port where the world’s news media is encamped to cover the summit.

The location has been changed due to weather, the official said, after rainy mist - known as "mizzle" by locals - enveloped the sandy beaches and ragged coastline of the southern English county of Cornwall.

“Mizzle” and “dibble” and “smirr” and all those other regional words for precipitation have a gloriously humdrum quality.
