I had some just this week. Which reminds me of a question that precipitation raised. So it hasn't rained all summer here (yay!), and then it rained pretty hard recently. I sort of expected the rain to make the smog downtown better, but instead there was actually a clearly discernible smog layer (of browner color than usual) visible below the clouds following the rain. And smog has been worse downtown after the rain than is was before. Any pseudo-scientists care to explain this to a smog-activity novice?

when I went to my first year in college they gave me a roommate who never showered. I mean not once. he smelled bad, of course, but after a bit I got sort of used to it, and focused on moving somewhere else the next Semester.
One morning as I lay in bed, I heard him get up, and then the sound of the shower going on. It was nice for a few moments, I could hope for better quality of life.
Then he came out and the smell was much worse, too pungent to stand. It was like he showered in shit.
I finally figured out that what happened is he washed away the outer, older, deader filth to expose the inner fresher filth.
Maybe something like that happened with the smog?
