That smell when rain hits dry ground has a name: petrichor. Stop and breathe it in once.

Something you have smelled your whole life without knowing it had a name is worth stopping for. It happens when water hits ground that has been dry for a while, and it arrives complete and then is gone in a few minutes. Having a word for it makes it easier to notice.

Next time rain starts after a dry stretch, go outside rather than to a window, and take one proper breath through your nose. Pavement, soil and grass each give a slightly different version. Say the word to somebody, since half the pleasure of a name is handing it on.
