Reminded of describing “rain” in Irish Gaelic. Rain can be described as "báisteach" or "fearthainn", drizzle or misty rain is "ceobhrán" and "brádán" or "Tá sé ag draonán báistí" The expression "tá sé ag dríodarnach báistí", is a type of light rain. "Ceathanna", "múrtha" or "scrabhanna báistí" is showers of rain while "aimsir cheathach" or "aimsir spairniúil" describes showery weather. The word "craobhmhúr" is useful in describing scattered rain or a light shower. "Breacbháisteach" is occasional rain. And rain with blowing sideways can be described by "seadbháisteach" or “seadbhraonta"

This is really interesting July. Reminds me of that fact that the indigenous people have dozens even hundreds of ways to describe things like snow (Inuit) and also rain (Hawaiian). Reflects their connection with the elements and how they needed to formulate nuance in their description to properly convey information about their most vital resource and in some cases its potential danger.
