Better sound on rainy days?


Does anyone else notice this? I also get better FM reception on rainy days.

My 1st car was a 1958 Ford with a 312 T Bird motor. It had a hood scoop which had an emblem which was just a styling cue. However, I knocked out the emblem and installed screen wire in its place. It was then a real hood scoop.

On a rainy day, that car was very noticeably faster. It was somewhat of a thrill to drive except for one problem. The windshield wipers were vacuum operated. So, if you really accelerated hard, the wipers stopped. That feature probably saved my life. I was 16, wild and crazy and didn't care. IOW I was the typical 16 yr old...

I prefer temperate temperature with stable constrast without too much humidity...

😁😊

And i prefer to supply my own ionization devices than waiting for rain...

At 16  myself i cannot afford a bycicle....( i bought only books with my scarce money)

I discovered someday  the cheap house my father, a poor workman, dream to buy without never daring to buy one because of cost...

He buy me a cat.....Instead of a dog to give a reward ... This cat was a tiger and even attack guest, he sleep on my bed only and keep guard....  My dad  did not buy  me a 1958 Ford, Lucky you....I will de dead if he has did so...  😁😊

 

 

higher frequency has a bit more trouble traveling in humid air so a rainy day can decrease a bit of the sharp treble attack most modern loudspeakers have.

As reported by HAM radio operators...the distances their signals travel are  much greater on cloudy days easily traveling to Europe and beyond due to being contained by the clouds.

As to cars running better/stronger is because the moist air flashes to steam during the combustion cycle.  There is such a thing as water injection to tame detonation (pre-ignition).
