Lightning
Mnemonic
The sun beats down on a sweltering day. You wrinkle your nose as the air fills with a sharp, metallic tang of ozone. Suddenly, lightning splits the sky! The bolt is brighter than the sun, and the scorched-air stench floods your nose with every deafening crack.
Additional thoughts
Ozone smell is a real phenomenon before lightning strikes—anchor the nose to that distinctive scent. The sun represents the blazing flash of light each bolt produces. Sensory combo: blinding light (sun) + sharp smell (nose) = lightning.Quick recall
The sun-bright flash fills your nose with ozone as lightning strikes.
