We've had 7 inches in May, June, and July, and it has been spread out, not all at once in a big storm. It has been gentle and steady for the most part.
Typical monsoon season all the way through September -- two more months to go yet -- is about 6 inches, but we've had less many summers.
Even when it doesn't rain, the afternoon skies get cloudy and threatening. Every day. It's been hard to sit on the patio in the late day and the cushions are spending more time stacked in the living room than outside.
The mountains are getting even more. When it doesn't rain here, it's pouring in the mountains. And Ruidoso to the south has been having terrible floods (and deaths) from rain coming down last year's burn scars. It's been horrible.
But of course here, in less catastrophic amounts, the rain has been welcome in my garden. On July 29, 31 and August 1 we got a third of an inch each night -- 1 inch over four days.
