High humidity causes everything to smell stronger.
It isn't anything specific, just a more intense odor that was always there.
That's great! Enjoy the sound and smell of the rain.
The children played in the dirt after a day of heavy rain.
The Bible does not specifically mention whether there was rain before Noah's flood. However, it states that the "fountains of the great deep burst forth" along with rain, suggesting a cataclysmic event involving both water from the ground and rain from the sky.
In some cases, rain can evaporate before it reaches the ground in deserts due to the dry and arid conditions. This process is known as virga. The rain droplets evaporate in the dry air before they have a chance to reach the ground.
This can be either sleet or freezing rain, though both technically start as snow and melt into rain. Sleet is rain that is able to freeze back into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Freezing rain is rain that does not have enough time to freeze into ice before reaching the ground - the cold layer is very shallow to the ground, so it is rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces.
The change in humidity in the air before a rainstorm can sometimes cause a change to the smell of the air but not for all rain showers and not everyone will notice these changes.
no rain does not affect the smell

Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't smell poop right now but I have smelled poop before! And if I did smell poop right now then my computer would probably be in the bathroom!
The smell of rain is primarily caused by a compound called geosmin released by soil-dwelling bacteria when rain falls. While there is a connection between rain and the ozone layer, the smell of rain is not directly due to the ozone layer. The ozone layer's distinct smell is not usually detectable at ground level.

That moist air is more amenable to transmitting scents is the basis for the proverb "Flowers smell best just before a rain."Specifically, moist air is a harbinger of coming rainfall. Atmospheric and terrestrial moisture enhances the strength of an odor. That is why flowers release fragrances just before rain, and earthwormy smells pervade grounds and sidewalks.
This phenomenon occurs due to the increase in humidity before the rain, which enhances the diffusion of volatile compounds from the flowers. As the rain approaches, plant compounds are released, creating a more intense and pleasant smell.
It doesn't smell foul, it's probably just the water off the road/tiles/floor. It depends where you are. Rain on grass doesn't smell the same as rain on the road...
