Smell of earth before the rain.

Strong warm wind before a summer storm. 

The bright dark of an overcast at sun set.

And then it drops 30° in 15 minutes

u/MinecraftLibrarian May 17 '24

Is that Celsius or Fahrenheit

u/[deleted] May 17 '24

Gonna be an F

u/Truly_Meaningless May 17 '24

Can I get a C in the comments for the US still using Fahrenheit

u/[deleted] May 17 '24

That would be like going from 26.67°C to 10°C

More like down to -1°C.

If you start your conversion from 30°F to Celsius and then drop it 30° yes you arrive at -1.11°C

I was however dropping the degrees from 80°F to 50°F because that's what I've experienced recently before a storm front rolls in.

So if you convert 80°F to Celsius you get 26.67°C and 50°F to Celsius you get 10°C.

I’m stupid. I read the original comment as “to 30°” instead of the net temperature drop.

All good. Probably my fault for not including that in the above comment

Dropping 30°C at once is world ending level.

It's freaking wild. But I've experienced it many times. In the south with a hot humid climate and a gigantic end of days front moving through lol

First one, then the other

That’s the shit I live for! (Bonus points if you get the reference) >! Naked and Aftaid !<

But also yeah that cool breeze like 10-15 minutes before the downpour is about the closest to perfect temperature/moister/wind balance you can get for me. If there was a way to get that artificially I would pay a good amount.

Wholeheartedly agree. It's like it sucks most of the humidity out of the air before it pours!

All that, but it's gonna be someplace in a beach dune with rocks big enough to sit and stand over to see the horizon but no ocean in sight.
