Adios Monsoon Skyscape
From a meteorological standpoint, the 2012 Monsoon ended yesterday, September 13th, with a shift back to westerly prevailing winds and a big drop in humidity. The calendar-based 'Monsoon Season' continues until the end of the month. After a slow start and a hot, dusty dry July, precipitation in late August and early September finally pushed the monsoon rainfall total up to just a little short of average (2.69 inches recorded at Weather Station ZD1). The official monsoon rainfall total at PHX Sky Harbor airport was slightly above average, although year to date precipitation is still far below normal. Despite some temporary relief, including some major flooding in a few places, Arizona remains under moderate to extreme drought conditions statewide. - My Rooftop View, Phoenix, Arizona
