Can you ‘smell’ rain coming ? – I can….

I can’t quite remember when this ability developed but I’d think somewhere in the last 25 years. I just seemed to be able to smell rain approaching, judging the direction of approach simply by turning my head.

Back in 1983, I was sitting in Tours, central south western France with my Mother, and I warned her of an incoming severe hailstorm. She thought I was demented and ignored my comment. I shifted indoors from the caf? we were sitting outside and moments later my poor old Mum got drenched by a flash flood.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has this ‘odd’ ability, I know that my cat does because she’s just come back inside, expecting the initial downpour that I’d already got a whiff of.

Comments people?…
