Not quite sure how this is happening but it’s very gently spitting with rain… but there’s not a single cloud in the sky anywhere. Couple of planes have passed. Can contrails precipitate out of very dry air?

Yeah we’ve big trees at the end of the garden and at first you’re like has it been spitting? But then you realise every day you’re cleaning tree sap spots off your glasses, and everything in the garden is sticky as hell…
Yeah we go down the bottom of the garden (overhung by beech/sycamore) you come back up the garden with leaves, gravel, twigs etc all stuck to your shoes for a month. Thank god the cars a) out front away from it all b) mostly garaged
Contrails form when the upper air altitude (25,000ft and highter) is very cold (below -40C) for the hot exaust of an airplane engine condenses quickly and turns to ice crystals. There's also a certain level of humitiy involved that makes them easier to form.

It was so heavy that the gravel I was walking over stuck to the soles of my shoes.
