So, it has been raining A LOT in Dublin, and all of Ireland in fact. According to Met Eirann, June was the rainiest since 1958!!! It was also twice as wet as usual. Rain fell at the Dublin Airport 25 days in the month of June. And it doesn't seem to be stopping. I think it has rained most days in July as well. At least there was a bit of sun yesterday before it lashed. Today was just grey.
In the spirit of all the rain, here are the descriptions of rain that I am aware of:
soft day: a wet, light rain, a drizzle
lashing: this is the usual term for rain. It is supposed to mean rain with a lot of wind.
wet rain: this one I just learned. It is the term for big, heavy drops of heavy rain that no matter what protection you are wearing, you will get soaked.
Rarely, people just say that it is raining.
