    What about the smell right before it rains? I always notice a subtle sweet aroma roughly 5 to 20 minutes before a deluge.

      Convection of particles in the surrounding air being forced upwards travelling towards the clouds, this then mixes with the water vapour and causes the cloud to rain. There is a lot happening in the surrounding air we pass by unnoticed like fish swimming in the ocean.

      @@shawns.6185 I love when I notice the weather changing, especially when the air is charged with static electricity. We're more in tune with the weather than we give ourselves credit.

    This isn’t entirely accurate. A lot of the smell we get is from airborne dust’s being trapped in water nuclei of a cloud. When you have enough dirt and other particulate in mixing with the water vapours in the clouds the water vapour becomes heavy enough to form into rain droplets and fall from the cloud back to the ground. There’s also a rapid evaporation of a small percent of the droplets that never hit the ground and turn back to vapour release the particulates trapped in the rain droplet and then travel via convection back to the cloud layer.

    I didn't know this was a thing to begin with. 90% of thr time I can't smell anything, so it's always odd to learn about the smells of thins around me.
