… 2025 has featured a very weak monsoon on the western fringe of the typical summer wind reversal region–so much so that summer 2025 to date has been among (if not singularly) the driest on record to date across a broad swath of the Great Basin. … Fortunately, it does appear that a late monsoonal surge will slightly ease these concerns. I don’t expect a dramatic “saved by the bell” moment, but a substantial and more western-oriented monsoonal surge now appears likely over the next 7-10 days across the Great Basin and even extending into portions of southern and eastern California.
