Monsoon season officially begins on June 15 and runs through Sept. 30.
What is the monsoon outlook for Arizona in 2023? Well maybe only fools and newcomers try to predict the weather here in Arizona but the National Weather Service predicts drier, hotter than normal conditions for Arizona’s 2023 monsoon.
Summer can be one of the best times of the year to visit, play and live in Rim Country. Be sure to keep an eye on the weather during the Monsoon whether you are hiking, biking or road trippin’. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and be informed; Tips for Preventing Heat-Related Illness

Make sure they always have access to fresh clean water
Ensure there is a shaded space for them to lay around outside
Take them to the vet for a check-up – ensure they are healthy and checked for heartworm, etc
Animals with flatter faces who may have a hard time breathing (pugs, french bulldogs, Persian cats, etc) should always be kept out of the heat in order to ensure they can pant/breathe properly and cool down
Do not leave animals in a parked vehicle outside during high temperatures
Brush and pet your cats regularly or even trim longer coats, shaving them completely reduces their ability to cool down and prevent sunburn
Do not walk outside unless you have protective footwear for your pet
Be mindful of outdoor gatherings, human food can be dangerous for pets and lead to medical problems.
Be especially careful to avoid giving your pets raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate, and products with the sweetener xylitol (this includes some brands of peanut butter!).

Traveling in Rim Country this winter? Before you go check road conditions at www.AZ511.com for road closures and crash incidents.
The number one cause of winter car accidents is ice and snow on the roadways.
Slow down. Braking takes longer on slippery roads — the slower you go, the easier it will be for you to recognize potential hazards and control, slow, and stop your vehicle. Make sure your car is prepared for the winter conditions (check your battery, windshield wipers and washer fluid, tires, antifreeze, and headlights).
Items to keep in your car kit during the winter
Your winter emergency kit should include basic survival supplies, safety items, car maintenance tools, and winter clothing. These items will help you stay comfortable and hydrated if you ever get stuck on the side of the road or have to wait out a storm. Pack your supplies into a storage bin, and place your roadside emergency kit inside your car before venturing out into the cold weather.
Here is a list of items to include in your vehicle when driving in winter:
Flashlight
Bag of cat litter, sand or salt
Snow shovel
First aid kit
Ice scraper
Jumper cables
Water
Blanket
Cell phone charger
Reflective triangles
Non-perishable snacks
Matched
Toolkit
And be sure to keep your car maintained; inspect your battery, replace your wiper blades if needed, keep gas in the tank and check your tires.
