From my recollection, rain doesn't have a smell.

Humidity is still water. Plants like water. They then release the smell, regardless of weather it is pouring, sprinkling, or just humid.

How bout you look at the meaning of petrichor again. I quote "petrichor coming from the grass". Petrichor is produced by plants as a reaction to rain. Also, this argument was already settled. Read our convo and you will see everyone is right. Have a good day.

Rain isn't just water, there is a small amount of dirt and other stuff in there so yes you can actually smell rain, what you are talking about is petrichor, an oil produced by many plants after rainfall which people also commonly associate with "the smell of rain"
