you would think it is June...Lightning-caused fire burning 40 acres near I-10, Dragoon

5. June has returned...

generally speaking August sees increased humidity, spotty thunderstorms that drench and cool the desert, followed the next morning by heating the desert evaporating the last rainfall, and it repeats again. No all of the desert gets rain every afternoon... but there is usually rain someplace in the San Pedro valley.

Occasionally a tropical storm will make its way from the Gulf of California and really drench the desert. Not every year, but occasionally.

Sounds like you all are stuck in the June weather pattern (very hot, dry, with dry lightning). I was there when the Rincons burned in the summer.

Hope things return to normal.
