Wet Trees

Micilin Muc

All the trees by the side of the Navan Road in Dublin are wet this morning! Ok I know it's a strange statement to make, but the road and pavement are bone dry and it hasn't rained since yesterday. Yet the trees are dripping wet and there are puddles under every one of them. I've never seen this before.

Do Councils spray trees, and why? I'm just curious!

Means its stopped rainin for a while

AFAIK this is a natural phemo phenono phen thingy thqt trees do

as it rains they open up every little 'pore' and soak up as much rain as the can, then when it stops they dump any wexcess they cant hold.

Old Wives tale is

You wont get wet standing under a tree DURING a rainstorm, only after

if that makes sense

That's very interesting! Thanks Mahatma. I thought it might have been the freezing fog as all the trees further out in Meath were white with ice, a very strange phenomenon (thingy)

Could well have been this. I was walking down the mall in Westport yesterday at noon and thought hail had started to fall. Then I realised what I was seeing was half thawed water droplets falling off the tree branches above me.
