霎

2 candidate readings from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Selected the Southern-Min-tagged 'light rain; drizzle' sense over the character's other Mandarin/Cantonese/Hokkien-specific senses (instant/moment, sound of rain or wind, crumbs, to speak loudly), which are less relevant to Teochew.
