BAD WEATHER IS GOOD FOR YOU βοΈ! Bad weather often means fewer people outdoors! This translates to a quieter, more peaceful experience in nature and cities π§π»ββοΈ You know that distinctive and calming smell when it rains? Well thatβs called petrichor. Rainfall and winds are known to disperse pollution in cities, so a walk in a city during wet or windy weather means youβll be breathing in purer air. In green spaces, especially forests, plants and soil release compounds in the air when they mix with water. Inhaling these compounds have been shown to improve our mood, enhance respiratory health and immunity! These benefits linger for longer in woodland and forests and are twice as abundant than in open land. π²ππ²
