We've had such an exciting weather week here in Arizona. Those of you living in the Midwest will read this and wonder what the big deal is, but for us the weather has been very extreme.
We've had some rain every day this week. Some of those days have produced copious amounts of rain. The area that I live in had over 3.5 inches yesterday alone. Last year, we only received around 3 inches for the entire year! Maybe this year we'll achieve the 7 inches annual rainfall that's the average. We're certainly off to a good start.
We also had a tornado watch last night. If that's not exciting enough, we had two tornado warnings! Wow. Of course, we didn't have any tornadoes, but for a town that gets excited when it rains for 15 minutes straight during the monsoon season, this has been excitement overload.
The rain should end tomorrow and we'll go back to the same boring forecast as usual: sunny and warm, sunny and warm. That will last til March when the forecast will change to sunny and hot, followed by June when the forecast changes to sunny and really hot!
The last time we had five days in a row with rain was in 2005. We were due... and I've thoroughly enjoyed it!
