After it has been hot and sunny, when the ground is dry and the air goes from being heavy and sticky to light, fresh and crisp. It can smell a little foisty but has under-tones of cut grass.
Once there has been a good down pour, the sun creeps out again and you can see the pavements steaming as everything starts to dry out again.
Reminds me of being a little girl, in the summer holidays when for six weeks solid you had sunshine and blue skies every day, then on the odd day a small down pour would occur.

| Rain on a sunshine day |
Sometimes on an evening the clouds would gather angrily, darkening the heavy sky and you would see a flash of thunder, followed by a clap of thunder and then the heavens would open. You would run indoors as quickly as possible because this type of storm was cold and you didn't want to be struck down by lightening in your shorts and vest!!
