rain - the first rain in weeks
bringing a feeling of freshness - maybe we'll sleep tonight
smell that earthy smell
the smell you get after the first rain following a dry spell
the sound of raindrops on thirsty hard ground
gardeners rejoice - the water-butt's refilling
hot soft road surfaces; steam
the dust washes off everything
turning a muddy brown
gutters and gullys run
washing away all the detritus which had no reason to leave
filling the 'summer rivers' once more
catharticly washing everything clean
freshening
reviving
and renewing
