What July feels like

The monsoon usually shows up in the first half of the month and the change is unmistakable: dust settles, the mesas go dark green, and there's weather on the horizon most afternoons. Fourth of July is a river-and-parade day, and whether there are fireworks depends entirely on how dry the season has been.

Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 11 afternoons top 90°.
