You know when it rains, water is absorbed by the soil and grass outside. The soil is basically made up of earthworms poop. Because of that it smells outside when it rains.

It's not the ozone that you smell, it's the ionization of the ozone during lightning strikes that gives that great "rain" smell.

The raindrops are hitting all the dirt and pollutents in the air that is why it has that smell that is so refreshing to our senses.

It is ozone, a deadly poison by the way.
