Words for rain

on the BBC website. I'm liking 'Pishpotikle Weather' (scroll to bottom of the page) but love all the meanings!

I still love "driech" - it reminds me of home.

Driech and smirry are used a lot in my house

we got blown off the beach by gale force winds and horizontal rain and wind, not that there was a beach to see as the tide was completely in, and half way up the wall with the wind. but we had been out in the wind and rain oppaddling in the stream and sea, fully clothed.. cos we can't afford to go back for at least another year and we are notgoing to sit inside trying to stop a small boy destroying the cottage.

Driech used a lot here too, although today it would be termed wanking it down
