All things related to rain are welcome. Want to post a weather forecast? A puddle? A raindrop on a window? Does it look like it might rain soon? Or it just finished? We love the rain, and we welcome it all.

That's what she said! Ha.

In all seriousness, I have to agree with you. This picture encompasses so many amazing rain smells: wet grass, wood, and trees. Even wet gravel smells kind of nice, especially after a long period of drought.

Yes!
And rain on really hot asphalt smells incredible

What does it smell like?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Petrichor. There's many products that simulate the smell in perfume form.

Petrichor isn't the smell of wet wood afaik, but the smell of rain after a long period of dryness/drought.

Yes, but considering the picture I'm relatively confident it's about the same smell.
