: why does the air smells like yeast from time to time ?

Question

It usually happens on rainy days and I’ve smelled it in different cities. It only smells when you’re outside. It’s quite rare though, maybe once or twice a year ?

Note, this is also why you can create sourdough bread starter by putting flour and water into a mason jar and just adding a little more flour/water every few days. The yeast in the air will start to grow in the jar.
