It’s the time of year when the deserts of the US get the most rainfall. The monsoon season lasts for several weeks. So far this year, Tucson, AZ has had 1.37″ of rain according to the preliminary climatic data. However, the city is behind on rainfall. A recent drought outlook reports states like Arizona will see lower amounts of rainfall for the next three months. Today, the deserts could see heavy rain and the Storm Prediction Center has parts of Arizona and New Mexico under a slight risk for severe weather. Heavy rainfall is likely. Here’s hoping rain will add up over the next few weeks to avoid an extended drought.
