Meteorology versus Meteors


If a meteorologist studies weather, what do we call a person who studies meteors? In the days of ancient Greeks, meteorology was the study of the atmosphere, and anything that came out of it - rain, sleet, snow, hail. So, not too surprising that meteorology became the study of weather. But what about meteors? The science of meteors is called Meteorics. Accordingly, a student of meteors is a meteoriticist. A tongue twister to be sure.

Arizona experienced above-average precipitation statewide in June due to the unusual early-month weather pattern. Temperatures also ran above average across the state for the month.


The Southwest monsoon season officially began on June 15th, with moisture currently moving into the region. Weather patterns appear favorable for increased activity through the first week of July. The NOAA Climate Prediction Center's official one-month outlook for July forecasts increased chances of above-average precipitation across far southeast Arizona.
