It's raining.

The rain is warm.

It has just started pouring here too after going really dark - first time I've seen actual rain in weeks! There's that strange hasn't-rained-for-weeks earthy smell to go with it too.

Ooh yes, intense showerage in certain areas on the radar. Which provides useful clues as to Butters' and Mr Wiggles' physical location

In which story is that lesson contained?

Android Invasion describes a 'fresh' 'earthy' smell but doesn't use the p-word, either on screen or in the Target.

I don't think we actually live anywhere near each other.

Petrichor.

Oh I didn't know there was a name for it. Seems it's an actual thing:

Areas plural!

A few spots of rain but nothing significant so far today.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jul 13, 2018 9:53 am

16 degrees.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jul 13, 2018 9:54 am

It feels way warmer than that.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jul 13, 2018 12:50 pm

Still only spotting. When's it going to rain properly? rollingpin

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jul 13, 2018 4:41 pm

Rain didn't even manage to qualify as drizzle.

Stopped now.

Now hot and sunny again.

Absolutely di*rrheaing it down here now. drown

by Fangirl Three Fri Jul 13, 2018 7:30 pm

Now that's promising, it looks like an air mass is slowly moving eastwards and triggering off local showers as it goes. Hopefully it'll make its way out into the Great Plains here.

by Nightjar Fri Jul 13, 2018 7:43 pm

It's been hammering it down - replete with thunder a frightening-lightning - for a good half-hour now.

I can actually hear small children crying in fear. sad yes

by Nightjar Fri Jul 13, 2018 7:45 pm

The small children kicking a football about in the courtyard have long gone. sad yes
