In Arizona we experience monsoon, a season of high temperatures, high winds and high moisture. June 15th is the first day of the monsoon and September 30th is the last day. Monsoon storms range from minor dust storms to violent thunderstorms.
In the past week, we have had very active weather. Last night, storms hit the Phoenix area hard, leaving motorists stranded and knocking down power lines. The lightning was almost non-stop.......4000 lightning flashes!
