Monsoons have been a welcome sight to Southern Utah. We need the rain!
A lot of rain dropping here.

Yes, we do. New England normally gets 45″/yr. evenly dispersed through the year, roughly 1″ per week. We’ve had maybe 2″ since June. The plants are not adapted to that at all. Hard to see them so stressed. The rainfall this week has been very spotty. Great if you happen to be under a cloudburst, but too bad if you’re not!
Our storms are really spotty. On all these photos I showed rain clouds, I didn’t get rained on at all
. FYI- Southern Utah gets about 16 inches rain/year

Very beautiful photos! Las Vegas needs a lot more rain but we aren’t getting it, unfortunately. It’s just humid which is a bummer…

I thought it rained here… but nothing like those solid walls of rain in your photos! Beautiful and spectacular scenery you have there…

The rain storms here come in cells where you can isolate them from a distance

when you see one coming, does it follow a predictable path so give you a chance to avoid it?

They are somewhat predictable if you check oval radar which shows the direction

well that’s helpful at least. Here you just make sure you carry a coat at all times as it’s very patchy and unpredictable.
