Monthly Summary
Cool and wet winter conditions persisted through March across the Southwest, fueled in part by the strong, but waning, El Niño event in the Pacific Ocean. Precipitation occurred somewhere in Arizona on 14 days this past month as several slow-moving storm systems cut across the region.
The wet weather may continue through the end of April according to the 1-month precipitation outlook issued by the NOAA Climate Prediction Center on March 31st. The outlook indicates an increased chance of above-average April precipitation for all of Arizona.
