Recorded 7/19/2024 Aired 7/23/2024   Get ready for a big episode day as this month’s Southwest Climate Podcast hosts Zack Guido and Mike Crimmins kick off the monsoon season.  The crew cover the evolution of the current monsoon phases from onset to where we are today with stats and analysis.  And there is even a bit of a philosophical introspection on the data and sources (do you believe?).  Your hosts share what they have learned along the way - but stick around to the end to get their hot take on what is coming next.   Also - It’s not too late to sign up for the Southwest Monsoon Fantasy Forecast Game as there are monthly prizes this year!   Mentions: Arizona Institute of Resilience - Power Forecasting Group  - Monsoon Forecasting Discussion Blog   - Contact to get on mailing list = Patrick Bunn, ptwbunn@arizona.edu Map - Percent of Average Precipitation (AZ & NM) RainLog Climate Reference Network Southwest Monsoon Fantasy Forecasts Game NOAA - Climate Prediction Center: Outlooks
