Can you smell heat/cold?

[HowDoYouDoWhatYouDoToMeIWishIKnew]

I don't really have a sense of smell at all, but my dc just came in and said "it smells warm in here", I questioned further and apparently hot and cold have distinctive smells?

Is this a thing? Can people smell temperature, or is my dc weird?

I've got a impaired sense of smell due to a neurological disorder.

I can't smell of the tea is burning (I have very sensitive dc and a well used alarm on my phone) but I can smell hot and cold. No idea how!!

I can smell a thunderstorm.

and the cold does smell. I smell it on the kids when they cone into the car

I can smell some of these on here but not all. For instance, the radiators being on...yes, I can definitely smell that.
And I know when it's going to rain, I can smell that too.
Hot and cold not so much; I mean, a hot room often smells "stuffy" but I think that's different.
But I can certainly smell if someone's getting a cold, I can smell illness. Weird.

@Lemondrizzlerain yes it does taste different!

Hot and cold water sound different too.

Yes

I a smell all these smells! Hot cold spring summer autumn winter high humidity low humidity air and water

Yes I can. I can hear electricity too and taste when hot water has either been boiled too often or kept hot in an urn for too long.

I hate the taste.

Yes, I can. I always assumed it was a sensory trait but maybe it’s fairly normal.

I can.

I think with most things I have an average sense of smell, but I can smell heat and distinguish between different types - smell of heat when disembark from a plane in a hot country is different to smell of heat coming from a hot tap, ironing, smell before a tropical thunderstorm.

That's interesting. I'm a smeller of cold/hot and love the smell of outside. Morning sickness for both mine lasted over 20 weeks to start with and then came back at about 28 weeks and continued more or less until the end.

I'd never thought about this but you're right! I assume it's because my sinuses react to different temperatures and open up more in the warm. The cold actually hurts them.

I can smell when it's going to rain...

I can smell a cold snap. And as an aside, when a pineapple is ripe it smells like static electricity.
