Question

Why dose fine rain wet you more than big drops of rain?

Answer 1

A sudden down burst can get you soaked in seconds but large rain drops usually are more spread out or can be.  Fine rain as you call it,  is more like a misty rain which falls in a denser fashion..  more rain per sq inch... etc

Answer 2

Was going to quote Peter Kay but it's already been done.. Right now, it's spitting!

Answer 3

fine rain wets you because there is more rain drops and it last much longer then fat rain and comes down faster plus there is little space in between each drop in fine rain so your get really wet

harder it rains the wetter you get

Answer 4

Because there is more drops with fine rain and also you stay outside longer, don't use an umbrella or don't put your hood up because you think "Oh it is only spitting it's not that wet and it'll pass soon"
