... think it will be a dry monsoon season?  



Should we wager on first measurable summer rain? Let's call Sky Harbor airport as the control point.  My butt itches, so 325 rounds of .22LR ammo to the most accurate weather forecaster on ARFCOM.

I saw a live one at my shop (near Greenway and the 51) yesterday!

Haven't heard them yet, but I was sure happy to see one.

As a matter of fact, yes. Several locations buzzing up a storm during my walk this morning.


Bring on the monsoon!

Weds is the 29th, which was my choice because you chose the 30th.


You can have weds or thurs, your call, I'll take the other.

I've heard one, earlier this week, in my front yard.
It was also terribly humid here yesterday.

Lots of Virga this past week.
Hopefully, the dew points will start climbing soon.

So do I win? Or is this not monsoon enough? or does the whole valley have to get hammered? I guess we never really clarified the rules.

IIRC it required measurable rain at sky harbor.

For the record, it was raining so hard on the 303 near Lake pleasant this morning, I couldn't see more than a few car lengths ahead of me

Well if that's the case whomever had the 27th won since they got .1 inches. Or are there further rules, like half inch?
