With that said.... Phoenix has gone as many as 143 days without rain, so in the grand scheme of things, 93 days is really not that impressive. It will rain there eventually. Of course people will then start to complain about the humidity, cloudy, and wet weather and try to rush in the end of the monsoon.
Lived in NY until the last 2 years here in AZ. I'm used to humidity and am holding out hope to get some variety with the monsoons. Last summer, the whole Valley started getting rain near the end of June and the 4th of July was 85 and rain all day. This summer has been a tease. Areas on the fringes of The Valley have gotten some action but areas inside of The 202 have gotten squat. October to April is perfect and I enjoy the possibility of rain for a couple months in the summer. The May and June period is the redundant part to me.
