Petrichor is the word for the smell of rain that falls on the hot earth and is one of life's most wonderful. Many states that get regular rain probably don't get this but in Arizona it is literally life itself. But sometimes in the morning when you walk outside you can smell rain in the clouds that has not fallen yet and here in the desert it has a slightly sweet smell. So my question is if anyone knows what the word for this unfallen rain is.
For my money I think the three best smells in the world are fresh bread baking and these two rain smells. Thanks, Michael
