      New research on why we smell the rain.

          The smell of rain is fantastic. Especially it's been a long hot summer, the first decent rain always smells the best.

            Petrichor! One of my favorite words. It's interesting to see just how it is produced. I had heard it was from bacteria, but the aerosol action is something new.

              This is pretty cool... but I usually smell rain before it raining where I am... I guess I'll have to pay attention next time to how windy it is...

                It reminds me when i was young and living at province.
                We played and drink rain water on our way to home.( We used to walk from school going home)

                  There is something magical about the smell of rain.
