When rain clouds have passed, several things typically happen:

• The sun emerges: As the clouds dissipate, sunlight can once again reach the ground, often leading to a brighter and warmer environment.
• The rain stops: Naturally, the rainfall ceases as the cloud cover moves away.
• A rainbow may appear: If the sun is at a low angle behind you and rain is still falling in the distance, you might see a rainbow. This is due to the refraction and reflection of light within water droplets.
• The air smells fresher: Rain washes away pollutants and dust particles from the atmosphere, often resulting in a cleaner and fresher scent. This is sometimes attributed to a compound called geosmin, produced by soil-dwelling bacteria. Source
• Puddles form: Water accumulates on surfaces, creating puddles that can gradually evaporate.
• Changes in animal behavior: Animals may become more active after the rain, as they forage for food or seek mates.
• Vegetation looks refreshed: Plants appear greener and more vibrant after being watered by the rain.
