Arizona Monsoon Season Brings More Rain

Arizona’s monsoon season is here — and this year could bring more rain than usual. Officially running from June 15 to September 30, it’s not just about soaking showers but also fierce dust storms that can turn visibility to zero. With a 30-40% chance of above-normal rainfall across most of the state — and even higher in the northeast — this season is critical, supplying 30-60% of Arizona’s annual rain. The boost? Blame El Niño: warmer Pacific waters and reduced wind shear are fueling more hurricanes that track north toward Baja, pulling moisture into Arizona’s skies. So when the dust kicks up, remember — it’s part of a bigger, ocean-driven weather dance. Grab your umbrella and your mask. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
