Stormy Skies

 

During the monsoon season in Southern Arizona (June 15 to September 30), we typically get rain every afternoon or early evening.  The wind starts whipping, you might see rain somewhere in the distance, and the skies get a weird, eerie glow.

Then the rain comes, sometimes torrential, soaks every inch of the earth and leaves the air smelling like creosote. 

That's what it's like here during the summer.  Oppressive heat all day, rain in the afternoon, and then a little muggy after the rain.  Rinse and repeat.  Every day.

This is Arizona.
