Forecasters predict wetter-than-normal monsoon for Phoenix

• She told Axios that normal precipitation during monsoon season — which runs through September — is around 2.43 inches.
• The bulk of the rain typically falls in July and August, while June is usually pretty dry.

Catch up quick: Above-average rainfall would be welcome after several particularly dry summers.

• The rainy season precipitation totaled .74 inches last year, which was still considered dry but better than the .15 inches of rain we collected in 2023.
• The last decently wet monsoon season here was in 2021, when we got 4.2 inches, Ryan said.

Reality check: Wet seasons often follow dry ones, she said. Remember, we saw drier seasons in 2019 and 2020.
