Missing the Monsoons

Sunrise in Phoenix, Arizona

It’s the right time of year for the monsoons. There are clouds on the horizon, they even move into the valley, but the rains are not materializing. Well, at least we are having some clouds dot the sky which makes for great sunrises and sunsets. After months of nothing but blue skies, it is a thrill to once again see cumuli in the late day. This morning had low thin clouds aloft but even they are welcome. Funny how some people dream of moving to Florida, California, Nevada, and Arizona to escape the grey days while many of us Phoenicians long for a cold, rainy day with hot chocolate and the patter of raindrops on our windows. Instead, all we get is another perfect day – drats.
