You can sometimes smell lightning due to the production of ozone, a gas created when lightning strikes. The intense heat from the lightning bolt causes oxygen molecules in the air to split and recombine into ozone, which has a distinctive sharp, clean smell. Additionally, the high temperatures can also produce nitrogen oxides, contributing to the odor. This phenomenon is often experienced during thunderstorms when lightning occurs.
