  1. A mist or exceedingly fine rain which falls from a cloudless sky, a phenomenon not unusual in tropical climates. By local refrigeration, after sunset, the vapour invisibly diffused through the atmosphere is condensed at once into excessively fine drops of liquid water, forming the rain called serein. Huxley, Physiography, p. 40.
