We haven’t had a ton of rain this summer, but when we have you probably noticed that distinctive smell that happens once the rain ends. But where does that smell come from?
There’s actually a name for it… petrichor. Basically all the oil from various plants falls off and dries on the ground. Then when it rains, that oil combines with a type of bacteria to produce the smell that we all know and love so well. If you’re lucky you even get a rainbow to go along with it.

It’s been super hot out lately, but if you look at the official temp it might seem lower than how hot it actually feels. There’s a good reason for that.
When the official temperature is take there are some requirements. It has to be taken 5 feet above the ground since the ground gives off heat that could skew the number. It also has to be take outside in the shade. Direct sunlight could also skew it.
So that’s why most times it “Feels like” much hotter than what your phone or the local weather people are saying.
