The desert is no place to be without water.........
So when the forecast calls for rain, we Phoenicians are ready to enjoy a cloudy rainy day.
With a high of 61 degrees seems cold to the ‘desert rats' who live here year round so we don our warmest coats and brave the weather. The average rainfall for the Phoenix / Scottsdale metro area is only 8.3 inches per year. Our local newscasters are always excited to be able to report rain as a deviation from our typical ‘bright and sunny' forecast.
The cloudy skies develop into sections of cotton white clouds adjacent to the gray ones with precipitation. The beauty is unending as the cloud formations continually change presenting an artistic masterpiece. From some rainy downpours & light hail to bright rays of sunshine the Valley of the Sun was thankful to receive water from the heavens today.
Wow, this is the forecast for the week-"Another storm system brings another round of showers on Monday and Tuesday, with even cooler weather. Highs will only make it into the mid to upper 50s on Wednesday." - better bundle up!
