weather and the like
Its a slow Monsoon season here in the desert. WIth predictions of less rain/cooler afternoons, with hot temps 110-115 average, and high humdity above 65% which is high for us here.
I enjoy following the NOAA site everyday for these massive storms that litterly apear in the mountains and ride the upper valleys down like a rollercoaster. Only to go flat when they hit the heat bubble that is the Metro Phoenix area. If Mans influence on weather and climate can be seen, its here in Pheonix during the monsoons.
The sunsets and sunrise do really shine like classic paintings during this time of the year, so thats a plus. But we all want that rain, and i don't even collect it when i should. Wouldn't that be nice, even if it rains only about 4weeks total here in any given year. Allot of water still falls from the sky in short periods of time. Here's to hoping.
