Today’s other sky photo’s–monsoon season

This first photo is to the end of my last post about the morning cloud formations leading to this post.  For some reason this theme is seemingly impossible to add photo’s to once published.

Then as the day went on the sky clouded up, with a few large thunderstorms near, but not here.

IT RAINED ON FIRST OFFICAL MONSOON DAY!

They changed the monsoon season from a dewpoint base to a day base.  This extended the monsoon season longer than any dewpoint one is likely to go.  There are many years when the monsoon season would not start until July.  But magically yesterday there was lightning, thunder and light rain on the very first day of the new and improved monsoon season.

Here is a shot of last evenings rainbow.  But first a Weatherunderground link to sever weather in case you wer hoping to know what was going on. US Severe Weather
