Still can't believe that some people are unable to smell rain coming in the summer!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I honestly love that smell. It's relaxing.

People used to make fun of me all the time for sniffing and saying "smells like it's going to rain soon". Couldn't even tell you what it smells like... It just smells like the concept of it starting to rain

I've met others who knew exactly what I was talking about, but not many

Is that petrichor, or is that after rain?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Petrichor is after the rain, also an amazing smell! But sometimes there's also a distinct note before summer rain starts. Similar to petrichor, but different.
