Pure water is odorless, colorless and tasteless, but sometimes the other things in the water such as algae or bacteria do have an aroma, and even soil can have an odor when it is wet with water.
no rain does not affect the smell

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.

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...
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.
That's great! Enjoy the sound and smell of the rain.
The smell that occurs after rain on dry soil or sand is called petrichor. It is caused by a combination of bacteria, specifically actinomycetes, and other compounds such as geosmin released from the soil when it is moistened by rain.
Yes, a dog can still smell after heavy rain. Their sense of smell is highly developed and rain does not affect their ability to detect scents. In fact, rain can sometimes enhance smells by activating certain molecules in the air.
I believe the word is petrichor.
