Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/1/2014 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M First current precip ob is entered at new AZ location, since sale of home in WI and removal of rain gauge in early July 2014. After finding and re-installing gauge in mid Sep 2014 in AZ, I will backfill those last couple weeks. (I arrived in S AZ the night of 07 Sep 2014, and was here for the widespread heavy rain event over the morning on 08 Sep 2014 across the greater Phoenix valley (~3-4" generally) - but, alas, I had no rain gauge here yet!)

Slight modification to time, trying to be more precise, as well as to rain rate (noting 0.02" in the ensuing 20 minutes (of course, that will be the start of tomorrow's totals)). It's great to see a significant rain in the desert, after nothing for over a month.

6/6/2015 7:30 AM 0.05 M M M M Not really much, magnitude wise, but otherwise quite uncommon in early June here in greater Phoenix area. PHX(NWS) broke its record, with first ever measurable precip (0.16 in) for the date. ...and another tropical storm in the Pacific, S of Baja Calif, should provide more precip chances here again in a few days.

8/12/2015 7:30 AM 0.73 M M M M Update just to add comments. Substantial monsoon convection came through mid-day (yesterday 2015-08-11), while we were running errands in the valley. There were strong gusts, with noticeable dust, before the rain. At our house, one younger palo verde tree was blown over at about 45 deg from vertical. A walk later in the evening around our subdivision showed several mid-sized, established trees blown over (although typically weak palo verde or mesquite plantings).

8/14/2015 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A side note. Did see 6 Perseid meteors over about 80 min around midnight. Clouds were often obscuring, from 20 to 60% cloud cover, plus whatever clouds did pass by, they were quite distractingly bright from the Phoenix urban glare. (Next time, will have to find some nice dark (but convenient) place further out west into the desert, behind some blocking mountains...) Very mild temps (still 90F+s) for outside viewing.
8/15/2015 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hottest max temp of this year so far for PHX: 117F. (Easily broke the previous record of 113F.) By the way, the min temp was only 93F. ... and this heat looks strong for another couple days.

8/28/2015 7:30 AM 1.40 M M M M This time we did not miss the monsoon convection. Strong, damaging winds (w N comp) started around 4 PM, followed by intense rain lasting about an hour. There briefly was some very small hail included. There was considerable tree damage in the area, along with downed power lines, and we lost power around 4:30 PM (which lasted until about 9 PM). Quite a desert storm!
