What is that characteristic smell of rain?
)
June 16th, 2009
When rain first starts falling, if it hasn’t rained in a while, there is a characteristic “fresh” smell that is immediately detectable. What is that smell, and why does it go away after the rain has been falling for some time?
I live in Southern California; I don’t recall if I’ve detected the smell in other places.
