RAINFALL
In Arizona, typically, the heaviest rain falls
during the summer thunderstorm season, or Monsoon, in our state. The rain
can accumulate very quickly, resulting in flooded streets or washes, and
can even cause deaths via flash flooding. In Phoenix, the greatest
rainfall in a 24 hour period was 4.98 inches on July 1-2, 1911.
This total is quite a bit less than the Arizona record of 11.4
inches, which fell on Workman Creek (near Globe) on September 4-5, 1970.
