The smell of rain

[Paul2412]

Am I officially deranged or does anyone else REALLY like the smell of rain after its been hot for a while?

It is supposedly one of the most popular of all smells, even though nobody can precisely identify it.

Yes you are..

Nope! I had my window open while I was watching tv and straight away knew when it started raining, so I leant on the windowsill and just looked around breathing it in and feeling refreshed!! Until the moment was ruined by the dog coming in, rain smell after hot weather is nice, however wet dog is not! Haha!!

With so many artificial smells around and created by us these days, it's no wonder that you notice unusual natural smells, like rain and hot weather, especially here, where it is unusual

 

Rain landing on warm/hot surfaces is bound to create a certain smell. I like it too, though, I notice it at work the most, where there is a lot of grass about.

 

Perhaps I just like the smell of grass

I love the smell of rain. I also seem to pick up on it ages before anyone around me does.

That's just the smell of dog dirt getting disturbed by the rain.

No, because when I smell that I know that shortly my hayfever is gonna start, I think its cos the rain brings the pollen back down to earth?

Its the smell of the maki-lo-ko worms dancing aggressively on the tune of samba and regurgitating orange juice.
