I live in the Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area, in the Sonoran desert. In the wettest year on record, 1905, Phoenix received 19.73 inches of precipitation. In the driest, 2002, 2.82 inches. This month, we've received 2.90 inches. If I recall correctly, all of that fell during last week's storms. Note that that is more rain than we received in all of 2002.
