They're thermophobic

The area in between Des Moines and Ames, which got 8-12" of rain one day in early July, got hit hard again last night with 3-4". The exact same spot.

As you guys out East cool off quite nicely, I'm going to Heat back up as the summer seasons longest stretch of Hot weather is looking likely. I'll be honest, the low 110's don't necessarily bother me as bad as one would think, however, anything above 115F you really start to feel it and drags on you. Thank goodness, this summers pattern has been one that the Heat is disrupted by intervals of cooler periods and Monsoonal rains.

Yet another evening yesterday as storms bubbled up and unleashed some potent outflows and storms to follow. Sky Harbor reported a 68mph wind gust and ONLY a TRACE of RN, however, the east valley and my area got a range from a few tenths of an inch to about 0.50" across Mesa.

Starting to rain.
