Wall Of Dust Blankets Phoenix During Busy Monsoon Season

[kaktuskid]

You do know that Arizona has had too much rain the past week enough for flood warnings statewide. And that dust storms are a common occurrence this time of year

It’s a haboob, and Phoenix gets them. We do to in Albuquerque. It’s not unique or even strange for the desert southwest.

[Nateman]

It’s the desert. It happens all the time, Fun to watch even.

[gr8eman]

Made me think of Wall of Voodoo. Anyway, Phoenix looks like Dubai. So what? It’s the desert.

[ChuckHam]

Imagine that. Dust storms in the desert.

we got more rain in last few days than in the last year.
That stuff gets outdates very quickly. Now there are floodings.

Twas only a summer breeze

[Mr Rogers]

It has happened in Phoenix for as long as I’ve lived in Arizona...50 years. Nothing special. And after a month of very regular rain, I’m HOPING for a few dry days!

Looks like a typical sunny day in China, except in China it’s not dust.

In 1969, there was a dust storm in Phoenix metro *every day* during the month of July. Most always starting at 4pm.

But then, the land east of Phoenix was farmed, and that seriously suppressed the storms.

The latest data from the US Drought Monitor shows much of Arizona is in some form of a drought.

They might want to check their rain gauge again.

We've had so much rain, the Saguaros have stored enough water for the next 100 years!
