Arizona Monsoon’s

By Heilee O’Quinn, NSA Manager of Member Services

When you’re here in Arizona this July you may get lucky and experience an Arizona monsoon.  The likelihood of this happening is very slim, but just in case, bring something that you don’t mind getting wet (it doesn’t drop below 85 degrees Fahrenheit here in July so bring something light).  If you would like to read more about the monsoons here is a helpful link: http://phoenix.about.com/cs/weather/a/monsoon01.htm  

Monsoons, when they roll in typically happen in the late evenings- thunder, lightening and rain.  It usually lasts no more than an hour or so.  It is my favorite time of year!  And if you forget or just don’t want to bring anything, there is a shopping mall right across the street.  It can be a perfect excuse to buy something new.
