Monsoon Sky

Summer rainfall across the Sonoran desert at sunset, near Tucson Arizona. This is the season in which a shift in the prevailing wind brings a dramatic increase in rainfall to the usually dry desert areas. In the southwest this moisture comes mainly from the Gulf of California, July to mid September.
