1. What has started? A storm?

[Kali]

5. I hope it the start of the summer rains - monsoon

a little early but coming up from the right direction and the whole picture the last few weeks has been good - very hot and dry, today we have humidity up and thunder heads all around. I can smell moisture. It has not rained for a couple of months and essentially since last September.

[Warpy]

13. It's a few weeks early

But I hope you're right even though the swamper isn't working right here in NM. So far the storms have made it go from hot to hot and soggy.

[Kali]

18. current "official" start is tomorrow

old timers say San Juan's Day (24th)

[southernyankeebelle]

22. Oh I was just wondering. I don't do map reading well, LOL. Thanks

[Wait Wut]

6. Monsoon season

It's not 'official', yet. Apparently, we have to wait until some doofus weather person that's never seen rain before get stuck in a downpour before it's 'official'.

[southernyankeebelle]

23. You don't get much rain there? Gosh that's kind of sad.

[Wait Wut]

2. Of course.

I just spent $350 on the swamp cooler.

Well, let's hope it's a good one. I've been disappointed the past 5 years or so.

Once again, for the Southwest's listening pleasure, I present JACKYL!!!! (Seriously, give 'em some LOVE!!!)

[Kali]

7. do me a favor

go wash your car, hang out some laundry, and order some roof work started!!!

[Wait Wut]

8. No problem.

I'll make plans for a BBQ while I'm at it. If I remember, I'll leave all the windows open and then leave for the day. That's always a guarantee.

[Kali]

11. oh yeah, the windows

with the good low fired art pottery on the dresser right by the window

[thelordofhell]

26. Just don't get a rain catcher...........

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Yay for the rain, my dear Kali! I know how much you need it. n/t

[Kali]

9. not checking the rain gauges yet

but I hear thunder and I will be happy if we get going by the first of July. These things do have to build. What a thrill, it has been so long. oh man I just got on the computer and I may have to unplug! out of practice, for sure!

[BarbaRosa]

4. We had a nice shower last night.

I was out in my shop at the time so I went outside and stood in the rain for awhile. Here's hoping your rains start soon.

[Kali]

10. if we get any I will be out in it!

[PDJane]

12. Sunny here in Toronto. Sunny Tomorrow, then three days of rain.

High today 23°C, will be 12°C overnight, not too hot the rest of the week. It's been a cool June, and I'm grateful. I hate the heat.

[Kali]

20. if I am lucky it will bet down to 23 C around 3 in the morning

[thelordofhell]

27. That's our winter

[PDJane]

28. Which is why I have no intention of living further south than this, thank you.

I spend immense amounts on air conditioning, nothing at all on heating.

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. I may fake a relapse and hide out here in the rehab center's AC until the DAMN humidity goes away!!!

[PDJane]

16. Oh, I empathize, truly I do. I hate July and August here.

[Kali]

19. you be careful, this shit has been bad

I have been pretty wiped out by noon for a couple of weeks now. ugh

[ChazInAz]

15. Oh, yeah....

Storm clouds spread out on the horizon, palpable humidity, I can even SMELL the rain. They're coming.
And when they do, I'll tear off my clothes and go running around the back yard with loud cries of jubilation!
Huzzah!

[PDJane]

17. I want pictures!!!

[Kali]

21. best smell in the world!!!

[JayhawkSD]

24. I love Arizona monsoon

I used to sit on my balcony and watch storms march down off the Rincon Mountains, with lightening hitting the ground at the rate of about 20-30 bolts per minute. Beautiful.

[Kali]

25. YEE HAW!! Looks like we're getting a 3 or 4 incher today!

distance apart of drops on the front walk

but man it smells/sounds/feels SO GOOD!!!
