so you are a week late.

Ofc, AZ Monsoons are hit and miss, with some parts of the valley getting dumped on, while other parts are bone dry.

After the brief but serious rain dump, the sun returns and the water evaporates only to move on to another part of AZ and dump again.

But where it rains, it cools off the desert.
