We have had a rain & big "boomers" off & on all day.

So have we, in fact, we're still having quite a bit of rain come down - most of the thunder/lightning is over now.

Mid-July. These are unusual storms...to me, anyway. We normally have January rains, then not much again until July.

Hi Jinx....we are having a second wave of rain now. It's only about 56* or so now.

The big boomers were this afternoon. Had to shut down computers. I had made my assit a cuppa & one hit & I darn near dropped it! LOL

Hope this does great things for your lawn! *Hugs*

"Are your going to plant another?"

If we do, it won't be a Bradford pear. They're really not a strong tree.

As a note, couple of months ago I mentioned that a local newscaster at the age of 42 enlisted in the Army. Saw tonite where he has graduated bootcamp with honors! Top soldier of the cycle!

That is probably the same electrical storm that I ran into when I landed at Sky Harbor today.

Yes...this is unusual but we'll take it!:)

I believe the technical definition of monsoon season in AZ Is when we have three consecutive days when the dew point averages 55 degrees or higher
which as Jinx stated is usually in mid-July.

It is so hot & humid! Yuck!:)
