What Makes Arizona Monsoons Different?
If you’re new to Arizona or spending your first summer in Apache Junction, you may be wondering what monsoon season is all about. Unlike other parts of the country, Arizona’s monsoon season typically arrives between June 15 and September 30, bringing sudden thunderstorms, high winds, lightning, and heavy downpours. These storms can be quick but intense, often dropping a significant amount of rain in a short time.
Monsoons are a welcome break from the dry heat, bringing cooler temperatures and beautiful desert scents. However, they can also lead to flash flooding and dust storms, making it essential for RV and park model residents to stay informed and prepared.
