Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 10.09.12 - What causes the distinctive smell immediately after rain?
« on: 08/08/2010 15:54:35 »
Is thunder/lightning a condition for that particular smell as far as the original question is concerned?
So what do you think you are smelling in a rainy day without lightning?
If anything, shouldn't it smell LESS since the rain washed away all the particulates that would otherwise go into our nose and create the sensation of smell?
(I get a lot of mud and compose smells, but I'm pretty sure that's just local phenomenon.)
