Waiting for the Monsoon

Seventy-seven days without rain. The record is a hundred (2002), but today we are already #8 on the all-time list. However, there have been a few whispy clouds the last couple of days, and the humidity has increased noticeably.

Today the clouds are large and we have partial overcast. The monsoon pattern is brewing, the desert heat pulling in moist air from the Gulf of Mexico over the Sierra Madres.

Local weather experts predict a one-third chance of a heavy rain monsoon season, one-third chance of a dryer than usual monsoon season, and about a one-third chance of an average rainy season.

Inshallah, we will have rains on the Fourth of July.
