In the July Southwest Climate Podcast, CLIMAS climate scientists Zack Guido and Mike Crimmins talk about the solid start to the monsoon and seemingly inevitable breaks in the monsoon (like we just experienced). They also discuss the "inevitability" of the formation of this fickle El Niño event. There’s a bit of a feeling of Groundhog Day with these forecasts—and there continues to be uncertainty regarding the strength and duration of this El Niño event.
