We had our first monsoon rain here in North Scottsdale about two weeks ago. It
rained a little more than ½ inch. Then everything died except the clouds.

The last 2 years, monsoons haven't started till much into June,
but prior to that, the Monsoons began May 15th, and still went to Sept 30. I
think
the news people just want to be sure everyone is aware that the monsoons could
hit at any time...
This year has been bizarre, and too dry. Where's all the rain, rainbows, great
cloud formations,
breezes in the evenings cooling it down a little, and wonderful lightning
storms?
Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you always know
they are there.

I remember it was to warn newcomers to get ready for it...but I agree that the
old system was better and I also think the "season" starting on June 15 is
pretty stupid for the most part.

It used to be 3 consecutive days with dew point 55 or above marked the
beginning of monsoon – a pretty decent metric. I think several years ago,
someone decided that Arizonans were too dumb to understand what the dew point
is or how to find it, so they just gave it a date. Nice and easy. And
meaningless. Agree with Ron about the job….

It's always been the dew point at 55 and it never starts before the 4th of
July. Whomever came up with June 15th as the start of monsoon should not have
his/her job.

Hi All,
And the humidity is up so the rains may start soon... the dew point is not
quite at 55 degrees yet, but it is close, so probably this week sometime.
