btw…Late last week Phoenix Az broke the standing record for rainfall for the month of October. And we’re barely half way through the month. Seems the south eastern pacific produced a few tropical storms that rolled up the Mexican coast and met the cold air coming down from the north pacific. Warm oceans are everywhere.
YESS..George, the old saying..You kno it when you see it,,definetly applies with Horse shoe vortex..How cool , even at sunset!
Fronts either coming in or retreating sometimes provide for the multi-layers of wind not all going in the same direction..which produces great displays as the orientation of wind direction changes over the day. You captured a pretty neat day Hans!
Another shot showing the physics that produce Asperitas, existing over two sets of cloud.
Arizona Asperitas #129
Thanks Keelin, They don’t last for very long so keep an eye for them when the congestus build up on a not too windy day. Later in the afternoon is when the physics get strong enough to force these little delights out of hiding.
Yes Hans, a tropical storm came up the Baja and kinda sat there on the California/ Arizona border feeding what seemed like days of storm. Lots of rain. Some small parts of the Valley flooded. Temperatures dropped from lows in low 80 f to mid 50 f.Ground is still wet as of this a.m.
I found The South West Regional Weather Statistics Report , centered out of San Diego Ca. and it shows:
Average temperature for August Phoenix Arizona 1950 – 2000: Disgusting!
Highest temperature During August Phoenix Arizona 1950-2000: When Everybody Left Town And Went To Flagstaff
Average Humidity During August Phoenix Arizona 1950-2000: Fetid Panting Dog Breath
