Weird thing I noticed is that the rain doesn't feel or smell the same as it did when I was a kid. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it seems to me that the rain is stickier. Like, it doesn't dry as fast and leaves you a bit sticky when it does.

A few summers ago I was hiking, and my skin burned from a drizzle. It wasn't just me either. I was hiking alone, but it was the topic of discussion on the trail. When I got home, and told my kids they thought it was just me being sensitive.
To be clear it was burning my skin uncomfortably itchy type of burn. I was wearing a sleeveless hoodie. Only my arms touched the rain, only my arms were burning.
Hey Michalus, reclaimed sewer water has the same effect. I'm sure it's more than just fluoridation fatigue. "Pure" ain't what it used to be.
I prefer the rain to sunburn. I'm always in the rain. It never happened to me before or since. Which isn't exactly great for proving to my kids that it wasn't just me!
