It\u2019s been nearly two months since the monsoon season ended<\/a>. But that hasn\u2019t meant the end<\/a> of rain in Phoenix this year. This week, Phoenix\u2019s streets have been lined with wet pavements and the normally blue skies have been clouded by menacing rain clouds.<\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s unlikely that this month will be among Phoenix\u2019s wettest Novembers on record. But Phoenix will likely get enough rain to surpass its average November rainfall.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to the National Weather Service, the city has had 0.12 inches of rain \u2014 split between Monday and Tuesday \u2014 so far this month. (The NWS collects its official measurements from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.) That\u2019s about 0.47 inches away from reaching the month\u2019s historical average of 0.59 inches. But it\u2019s a big improvement over last year: No rain was recorded in Phoenix last November.<\/p>\n The current weather system, which has been traveling east from California, has mostly been concentrated in the northwest Valley on Monday and Tuesday. As of Wednesday morning, that area of the Valley saw as much as 2.45 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, said NWS meteorologist Alicia Ryan. Some areas even saw hail.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen news happens, Phoenix New Times is there \u2014<\/strong> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe\u2019re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n On Wednesday and into Thursday afternoon, that rain system will be more squarely concentrated on top of Sky Harbor and the East Valley. The estimated rainfall total for the storm is between 0.75 inches to one inch of rain, Ryan said.<\/p>\n Data from National Weather Service<\/p>\n 10 wettest Phoenix, Arizona Novembers on record<\/p>\n But crack the top 10 wettest Novembers, it won\u2019t. The November months at the top of that list all topped two inches of rain. All but one took place in the previous century. Here are the 10 wettest Novembers in Phoenix\u2019s history:<\/p>\n So far, November 2025 has a long way to go. But it may be too early to discount this year entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n Last month was the third wettest October on record, with 3.26 inches of rain. It\u2019s also possible Phoenix will experience more rain beyond Thursday. There\u2019s a 15-30% chance of rain into the weekend and the rest of the month, with an \u201cabove normal\u201d chance of precipitation, Ryan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rain clouds fill the sky in 2022 near Apache Junction.
