If you live in Arizona, you already know the drill: the skies are calm, the heat is relentless, and then suddenly – boom – monsoon rolls in. Sometimes it’s a bit of rain; sometimes it’s rain and wind; sometimes, we get the whole nine: rain, wind, thunder, and lightning.
If you’ve ever stepped onto your patio in the middle of an Arizona afternoon, you know how it feels. Unfortunately, there’s almost always instant regret, unless you’re launching yourself directly into the pool.
Living in Arizona means learning to embrace the heat, but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer! With summer temperatures making an appearance early this year (triple digits in April!), keeping your home cool is less about cranking the AC nonstop – or heading north to Flagstaff for the next few months – and more about using efficient strategies that work with the desert climate.
When you live in Arizona, monsoon season isn’t just a dramatic lightning show with residents crossing fingers for some rain to tag along. When storms do arrive, your roof could be seriously tested by high winds, driving rain, and blowing debris, which can quickly turn small issues into expensive repairs if left unchecked.
