In this month’s Southwest Climate Podcast we are in the final countdown to the monsoon. To get us started, host Zack Guido quizzes host Mike Crimmins on his climatology knowledge. They then cover this past month’s heat ramp up, take a walk down monsoon history over the past few seasons, and look at past conditions as a precursor to get the monsoon party started. Then close out with our current conditions and what the forecasts are saying. Will the tropical storm activity be this year’s wildcard?!?
