Its almost that time of year when The Southwest starts getting active with thunderstorms stretching from Mexico up to The Canada Border. Ive been watching the Dewpoints in Arizona and they are barely at 30 degrees. For those that dont know, the dewpoints need to reach a 55 degree dewpoint for three days straight for the Monsoon to be offical. For myself the Monsoon is exciting due to thunderstorms that can last well into the night and for the last 2 years brings Severe Weather to my area, thus many new lightning photos after each storm. Im sure there are many of you that depend on the Monsoon season for Rain, and the lightning photography opportunities. I still find myself amazed at the haboobs when they occur. Hopefully I will travel to Arizona during the monsoon and get some lightning photos taken. Maybe this year, not sure yet.
My Annual drive to california is coming up this Saturday thru the following Saturday. Was hoping for an early start to the Monsoon which makes the long drive much funner and enjoyable. Im crossing my fingers.
Whats your thoughts on the Monsoon this year? Are you looking forward to this years Monsoon? Anyone going to Arizona this year specifically for lightning photography?
