Phoenix Weekend Rainfall Breaks Record

Phoenix experienced record-breaking weather on Saturday, with 0.7 inches of rain falling at Sky Harbor Airport, surpassing the previous record of 0.3 inches set nearly a century ago.

“Most areas got anywhere between a quarter to three-quarters of an inch of rainfall with some areas — isolated areas — over an inch of rain,"

said Gabriel Lojero, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. The agency has issued a flood watch for Phoenix that extends to Sunday night, although no heavy rainfall has hit the areas of Globe and Miami, which were devastated by intense flooding last month.
