Phoenix: Above Average Start to Monsoon 2024

Phoenix Sky Harbor received 0.33" of rain in about 15 minutes on July 14th as outflows converged, spawning isolated strong to severe storms across portions of the Valley. While this might not seem like a lot of rain, it brought the airport's Monsoon 2024 rainfall total to 0.37", which is now 0.06" above the average rainfall from June 15th to July 14th.

Another fun fact to chat about with your family and friends: this daily total of 0.33" will go down as the 5th highest rainfall total for July 14th since records began in 1896.
