THE MONSOON SEASON IN ALBUQUERQUE HAS BEEN A BIT INCONSISTENT THIS YEAR. JULY WAS THE 7TH WETTEST ON RECORD FOR ALBUQUERQUE. THE CITY GOT JUST A THIRD OF AN INCH OF RAIN LAST MONTH, MAKING IT THE 10TH DRIEST AUGUST ON RECORD.
WE’RE NOW IN SEPTEMBER, AND NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST TODD SHOEMAKE SAYS THE MONSOONS SHOULD PICK UP AGAIN THIS MONTH. THIS WEEKEND, HE SAYS WE COULD GET WET FROM A TROPICAL DEPRESSION IN THE PACIFIC. SHOEMAKE ALSO REMINDS US THAT NEW MEXICO HAS SEEN DAMAGING FLASH FLOODING IN SEPTEMBER THE PAST TWO YEARS.
