Ever noticed that fresh, earthy smell before it rains? That scent is called ‘petrichor’. It comes from tiny bacteria in the soil that release a natural chemical called ‘geosmin’ when the air gets humid. As a storm gets closer, the moisture lifts this scent into the air, letting you smell the rain before it even starts. Some people notice it more than others — almost like a built-in weather alarm! So next time you catch that smell, you’ll know rain is on the way.
