hemsteadc Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Got here yesterday. Have to endure a couple days of heat before it cools down. Trees, bushes are barely hanging on with all the heat and presumably no rain. We need some rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2gypsies Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Arizona/California deserts have not had a monsoon this summer. It is overly dry. Normally the rains are plenty to keep everything alive.

rpsinc Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yes the desert needs rain BUT THE CALIFORNIA FORESTS ESP THOSE WITH FIRES need rain more. Years of those federal lands being ignored has created a bad situation for fires during drought times. I would think this may be another unfortunate fallout of the Great Recession and we havent caught up on all those things that were not done when the money was not available. And its almost Nov and still unseasonably high temps in the Southwest. Quote Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpmtngal Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 The weather prediction for Phoenix on Monday is for showers, hope they make it over to Quartzsite. It did look dry and dusty 2 weeks ago. Good luck over the next two days, I’ll be so glad when they are over and it cools off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsinc Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'm near Temecula, Jojoba Hills, and we had a 40% chance of rain earlier in the week. Well, its down to 25% but skies dont look promising. Too bad as many times what comes ashore and gives us rain will continue into Southern AZ.

Twotoes Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I’m in Benson at the Escapees Co-Op. The weather report is for rain tomorrow, Monday. We do have some clouds in the sky but I think there is only a slight chance of rain.

Ray,IN Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Last time we were in Q was August 05. The RV park requested we use our grey water on their nearby trees and shrubs, a bit each day.

agesilaus Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 The weather guessers have just announced the beginning of a weak La Nina weather condition. Which means dry weather in the SW: Government weather guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdrider Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Off topic but I have to ask, are all of the vendors there this year with the COVID thing going on? We were curious is some didn't set up this year.
