Understanding Arizona's Desert Monsoon

The North American Monsoon occurs from mid-June through September when shifting weather patterns draw moisture from the Gulf of California and Gulf of Mexico northward into the Sonoran Desert. These powerful summer thunderstorms can drop inches of rain in minutes, filling dry washes and creating temporary pools that reflect the desert sky in gorgeous patterns. The monsoon provides roughly half of southern Arizona's annual precipitation, sustaining desert ecosystems and creating brief moments of wet beauty.
