Always something to appreciate, often a surprise, sometimes enigmatic like this one, MikeL; I don’t know how you do it, but thanks anyway.
Underneath Stratus, says The Handbook, is pannus, strictly known as Stratus fractus, and a five minute warning of rain. But it doesn’t rain in Phoenix, Az, or does it? In the clip of Hole 16 at the Phoenix Open it says around 1:20 minutes ‘it rained yesterday’ and there are some likely clouds in the clip too:

Yes hygge, the more enigmatic the better IMHO. Stretching the mind is good exercise. And so it is with rain in the desert. Of course it rains here,precip actually making it to ground. The difficulty is in remembering the last. Some years back I think Phoenix broke a record of over 100 days without rain. And, just because some precip made it all the way to ground in say Sun City or Litchfield Park, is no guarantee it rains in Mesa or Guadalupe.
Another shot of cloud under the Stratus. Same day as above, but this one is in color.
