Monsoon Season Arrives in Arizona: What You Need to Know.

The monsoon season in Arizona is expected to bring powerful thunderstorms and flash floods caused by increased rainfall. The first six days of the monsoon are expected to be very sunny and hot, with high temperatures staying around the 100-degree mark. The monsoon can help maintain the water level in reservoirs, but officials still urge the population to conserve water. The National Weather Service predicts below-normal precipitation and above-normal temperatures for most of Arizona during the monsoon, with far western areas having equal chances for above, near, or below normal precipitation.
