September 2023 SW Climate Podcast – 2023 Monsoon Recap

Goodbye, adios, sayonara - In this month’s podcast, the crew is ready to put the 2023 monsoon in the rearview mirror.  Zack Guido and Mike Crimmins give this year’s monsoon season recap and the only good thing to say is that ‘at least it was not 2020’ :(  They cover what happened in September, review temperature and precipitation as well as the tropical storm season that prevented a full out non-soon.  We also get to hear the results of the Monsoon Madness game winners and take a look forward to a strong-leaning El Niño coming this winter.   Attention! For the first time for the Southwest Climate Podcast we are requesting listeners to send in their questions for a special MailBag episode in December.  Try and stump the hosts by sending in your inquiries and postulations at [email protected].     Mentions: RainLog Southwest U.S. Summer Monsoon Season Precipitation Mapping NOAA Global Forecast System (GFS) Model Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME)     CLIMAS Member(s):   Zack Guido Michael Crimmins
