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.

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

So, were both right? Happy ending.

Well, technically your smelling the effects rain hase on nature. You aren't smelling the rain, but the trees and plants reaction.

It doesn't. The dirts reaction to rain is what you smell. Water is both tasteless, and unsellable.

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