Phoenix's 110-day dry streak ends!
It's official, the 110-day long dry streak in Phoenix is over! Around 11:40pm on Wednesday (December 9th), the rain gauge at Phoenix Sky Harbor finally read something other than zero. This is the first time since August 20th that rain has been recorded at the airport.
While this was not a record-setting dry streak, it will go down as the 10th longest on record. The record longest streak without measurable rain in Phoenix stands at 160 days, December 30th, 1971 to June 6th, 1972.
Earlier this year we had a 103 day long dry streak, with no measurable rain from April 12th through July 23rd. This is only the 3rd year since records began in 1896 that there have been two dry streaks of 100 or more days.
- 1938: 107 days and 105 days, totaling 212 days
- 2006: 143 days and 105 days, totaling 248 days
- 2020: 103 days and 110 days, totaling 213 days
Enjoy the rain while it lasts!
