Rare June rain: the rainy season is not even here yet
Have you received rain yet this monsoon? If you have, congrats, but if you have not don't think this monsoon is a bust just yet!
Looking at the number of years Phoenix has seen rain on a given day throughout the year from 1896 through 2021, Phoenix is currently in the "pit of dryness". On average, only two to three years out of 126 see rain on any given day in June. That's not a lot, and shows the June rain this year is certainly rare.
On average, rain chances increase in early July and continue to rise until the first part of August, peaking on Aug 3rd.
Bottom line, this has been a unique start to monsoon 2022 and one we should be thankful for as it has given some beneficial rain to the parched landscape!
