It's not often you get "all-day" rain in the Valley. But with tropical moisture streaming in, it was one of those rare "cool" and rainy days in Phoenix. More rain possible on Tuesday as our Flood Watch remains in effect.

For the "this summer hasn't been too bad" crowd. Phoenix is actually wrapping up its 2nd hottest summer on record (tied with 2023). The big picture: it's not just daytime highs, it's the increasingly warmer overnight lows impacting our overall averages. #urbanheatisland
