It's been a real long time since we here in the Arizona deserts have gotten the amounts of rain we've gotten in the past couple of months.
I'm not complaining. We really needed this rain but, I'm just not used to it anymore and I'm kinda wishing for a bit more heat so I can start complaining about the Arizona summer again.
I started getting a feeling that we were due for some heavy rains back in the first part of 2022. I'm so glad I went ahead and had my little cracker-box of a house re-roofed back then.
Even with all of this rain lately we're still considered as being under drought conditions though. If the rain keeps falling for another month or two, we might just be able to get a reprieve from the drought conditions we've been under for the past several years.
I've lived here all my life and in all that time I can only remember about three other exceptionally rainy seasons, not counting this year. I suck at math but, it seems like we get this kind of weather about every fifteen years or so. I seem to recall those other rainy seasons coming during our summer monsoons though.
Interesting times. We'll just have to wait and see what other weather is in store for us. I'm sure the "Climate-Change" alarmists are hard at work thinking up ways to blame these naturally occurring weather events on the human race.
