This weather pattern which is called "monsoon thunderstorms" happens because of a shift in air flow in the south west region of the United States. During the winder months air flows from into Arizona from the West and North west, but during the summer months the wind shift to flow in from the South. This change in air causes moister to form in the atmosphere over desert regions of the SW and combined with the heat rising off of the ground causes thunderstorms.

There is a part of me that never want to leave Arizona because the thunderstorms over the the desert are so beautiful. I makes me want to sit out on a patio in a lounge chair and listen to John Denver
Thinking of the beauty of the rain and power of the thunder humbles me. God is in control of the rain he tells the skies when to downpour Job 36:27-28. He is a God who is so powerful he directs every lightning bolt. Such a great God, there is no one who is his equal. No other god that can match up to his power. Praise the God in heaven. Praise Jesus.
