Why rain on pavement feels like a smell event

Rain changes the air, the ground and what nearby materials release. The result can feel bigger than any one smell identity.

Cross-sensory language makes invisible smell easier to communicate, even when the color itself belongs to association rather than odor.

Wet pavement, stone, soil pockets and cleaned air create a temporary version of the city that disappears as surfaces dry.
